Media router and method for recording/reproducing broadcasting signal by using the same

A media router comprising;

• a PID filter part for selecting only a TS of a desired program from a received digital broadcasting signal and forwarding the TS;
• an MPEG-2 encoder for coding a received analog broadcasting signal into an MPEG-2 TS format, and forwarding the coded analog broadcasting signal;
• a media routing control part for giving a time stamp to every TS packet from the PID filter part or every TS packet of the analog broadcasting signal from an MPEG-2 encoder to, synchronize the TS packet, and extracting index information;
• a memory part for storing the TS synchronized at the media routing control part and the index information, and
• a decoding part for receiving, decoding, displaying a broadcasting signal or a signal reproduced through the memory part, and the media routing control part.

A method for recording a broadcasting signal by using a media router having a media routing control part and a storage medium, comprising the steps of:

• (a) selecting one of TSs of a received digital broadcasting signal and a received analog broadcasting signal;
• (b) adding a time stamp to a selected TS to synchronize, and extracting index information, for converting a format of the TS;
• and,
• (c) storing the TS having the time stamp added thereto and the index information in a storage medium.
