A digital physical receiving apparatus and a receiving method thereof. The
digital broadcasting receiving apparatus includes a channel information
storage unit to store information on a receivable physical channel among
physical channels allocated to discriminate digital broadcasting signals
transmitted from a pluarlity of broadcasting stations, and a transceiver
identification (Tx ID) allocated to discriminate a transceiving region of
the broadcasting signal, an input unit to input a virtual channel of the
digital broadcasting signal and a receiving region corresponding to a
desired analog broadcasting channel, a control unit to select the
physical channel having the inputted virtual channel and making a channel
selecting priority list when a plurality of the physical channels are
selected, and an on-screen display (OSD) processing unit to display the
channel selecting priority list when the broadcasting signal of the first
priority channel is displayed. When there are a plurality of the physical
channels having the desired virtual channel, the control unit gives first
priority to the physical channel having the same Tx ID as the received Tx
ID, and determines a channel selecting priority with respect to the rest
of the physical channels in an ascending order of the channel number,
thereby solving a problem of overlap of the virtual channel.
