Abstract: A digital broadcasting receiver includes a gap filler information storage unit for storing information of locations of gap fillers and information of corresponding gap filler identifiers matched to the locations. The gap fillers are arranged at regular intervals in order to relay digital broadcasting data transmitted from a satellite. A reception unit receives the digital broadcasting data including the information of gap filler identifiers. A sub-controller detects identification information of a current gap filler from the digital broadcasting data. An input unit receives an input of destination information. A main controller detects identification information of a destination gap filler corresponding to the input destination information from the gap filler information storage unit, counts the number of gap fillers located between the destination gap filler and the current gap filler, and generates destination arrival information based on the counted number of gap fillers.
