A multi-media system for transferring a single program transport stream
and a method therefor are provided. A receiver is for receiving a
transport stream. For the receiver to control recording and reproduction
performed by a recording/reproducing device, the receiver selects one
program to constitute a single program transport stream and transfers the
single program transport stream to the recording/reproducing device.
Here, a program number is transferred, by correcting program association
table (PAT) information of the transport stream. Accordingly, the
recording/reproducing device can recognize the program number within the
single program transport stream to be recorded. Therefore, the receiver
can perform remote control of the recording/reproducing device without
the extra transfer of the program number. Also, the receiver provides an
on-screen graphic (OSG) to the recording/reproducing device, resulting in
an OSG of consistent appearance.
