A method and apparatus for synchronizing EPG information between a server
and a client in a digital broadcasting network are provided. The server
updates synchronization files according to information which is modified
after a last synchronization file is created according to the update of
the server-side EPG information, creates a synchronization file according
to information which is modified after the last synchronization file is
created, and transfers a synchronization file to one of the clients,
where the synchronization file is created first after the EPG information
pieces of the clients are updated among from the synchronization files
stored in the clients. Accordingly, the server and the client can be
easily synchronized with each other by transferring or receiving only one
file, since all synchronization files can include the latest update
history by transferring only one synchronization file.
