The broadcast signal transmission method comprises the steps of: processing at least one component of a broadcast service on the basis of a delivery protocol; generating service layer signaling (SLS) information including information for discovering and acquiring the at least one component of the broadcast service; generating service list table (SLT) information including bootstrap information for acquiring the SLS information; and performing physical layer processing of the at least one component, the SLS information, and the SLT information on the basis of a physical layer pipe (PLP). ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of transmitting broadcast signals by a broadcast signal transmission apparatus, comprising: processing components for a service, signaling information for the service, wherein the signaling information includes a first BSID representing a first broadcast stream in which a first set of components of the service is delivered, a service ID representing the service, a major channel number of the service, a minor channel number of the service and other BSID information, the other BSID information includes a second BSID representing a second broadcast stream for the service and type information representing a type of a second set of components delivered in the second broadcast stream, the type of the second set of components is either a portion of the components for the service or a duplicate of the components for the service;
