Abstract

A method for displaying broadcasting program guide (BPG) information, which can promptly provide the BPG information by using a time sliding bar, a channel sliding bar and a hand tool, is provided. The method includes receiving and displaying the BPG information by channel and time, and displaying the time sliding bar, the channel sliding bar and the hand tool so that a viewer may search the BPG information. A remote controller for interacting with a display of the BPG information is also provided. The remote controller includes a first interface part for inputting a command to slidably move the display so that the viewer may search the BPG information, a control signal generator for generating a control signal corresponding to the command input by the first interface part, and a transmitter for transmitting the generated control signal to a broadcast receiving device.
