The broadcast signal receiving apparatus includes: a communicator configured to connect with a headend and receive a broadcast signal; a signal processor configured to process the broadcast signal; and a controller configured to, in response to the broadcast signal receiving apparatus entering a standby mode, control the communicator to perform an operation of maintaining a connection with the headend based on a preset period, and control the broadcast signal receiving apparatus to switch to a normal mode in response to an external event, while maintaining the connection with the headend. Thus, the connection with the headend is maintained even in the standby mode, and it is thus possible to immediately switch over from the standby mode to the normal mode, thereby decreasing the power consumption and minimizing a user's standby time.
