Personal video recorder system and method for reproducing a broadcasting signal in the system

A method for reproducing a broadcasting signal in a PVR system, comprising the steps of:

• (a) processing a video signal through a first path to reproduce a broadcasting channel tuned by a first tuner in real-time;
• (b) tuning into a broadcasting channel by a second tuner, which is the same as the broadcasting channel tuned by the first tuner, and encoding and storing a video signal of the broadcasting channel along a second path;
• and
• (c) reproducing and displaying the video signal processed in the step (a) if a current mode for watching a real-time broadcasting is chosen, and reading and reproducing the video signal stored in the step (b) if a past mode for watching a past broadcasting is selected.

• (c) selecting an image quality setting mode by a user;
• and
• (d) reproducing and displaying the video signal processed in the step (a) if a mode for displaying the video signal processed through the first path is chosen, and reading and reproducing the video signal stored in the step (b) if a mode for displaying the video signal processed along the second path is selected.

• (c) selecting a time shift default setting mode by a user;
• and
• (d) setting a default mode to reproduce and display the video signal processed in the step (a) if a mode for displaying the video signal processed through the first path is chosen, and setting the default mode to read and reproduce the video signal stored in the step (b) if a mode for displaying the video signal processed along the second path is selected.
