Apparatus and method for receiving satellite DMB

A method of displaying the heading of a satellite in a digital broadcasting terminal, comprising the steps of:

• determining whether a digital broadcasting signal has been received from one of the satellite or a gap filler;
• determining the position of the digital broadcasting terminal using a geo-magnetic sensor;
• generating broadcasting reception state information using the satellite's azimuth and the terminal's position;
• and
• displaying the broadcasting reception state information.

A terminal for receiving digital broadcasting, comprising:

• a receiver for receiving a digital broadcasting signal from a satellite;
• a geo-magnetic sensor for determining the terminal's position;
• a controller for generating information relating to the satellite's heading using the satellite's azimuth angle and the terminal's position;
• and
• a display for displaying the information indicating the satellite's heading.
