Disclosed is a method of transmitting/receiving additional information.
The method includes the steps of transmitting video, audio, trailer, and
EPG(program guide) signals respectively having independent PIDs(packet
identification numbers), receiving the transmitted signals and extracting
the video, audio, EPG, and trailer signals from the received signals,
displaying the extracted EPG, and displaying the trailer signal for a
selected broadcast program of the EPG. Preferably, the trailer is
displayed as a motion picture or still image. Accordingly, when the
audience selects a specific program on an EPG screen, the present
invention displays a summary or preview of the selected program.
Therefore, the transmitting side such as a broadcasting station enables
to inform the audiences of the corresponding program of the broadcasting
station, and the audiences are helped to select programs through program
previews or summaries.
