Abstract
A signal receiving apparatus includes: a tuning unit which has at least one tuner; a communication unit which communicates at least one external device; and a controller which divides an entire channel frequency band to be assigned to the tuning unit and a tunable device, and controls the tuning unit and the communication unit to tune the assigned channel frequency bands if the tunable device is present among the external devices.
Claims15
A signal receiving apparatus comprising:
- a tuning unit comprising a tuner;
- a communication unit which communicates with at least one external device;
- and
- a controller which divides a channel frequency band into a first band and a second band, and controls the tuning unit and the communication unit to tune in the first and the second bands, respectively, if a tunable device is present among the at least one external device.
A signal receiving apparatus, comprising:
- a communication unit which communicates with a plurality of external devices;
- and
- a controller which divides a channel frequency band into plural bands, and controls the communication unit to tune in the plural bands if tunable devices are present among the plurality of external devices.
A signal receiving apparatus, comprising:
- a tuning unit comprising a tuner;
- a communication unit which communicates with at least one external device;
- and
- a controller which controls the communication unit to tune in a broadcasting signal different from a broadcasting signal tuned into by the tuning unit, through a tunable device if the tunable device is present among the at least one external device.
A control method of a signal receiving apparatus which includes a tuning unit including at least one tuner, and a communication unit communicating with at least one external device, the control method comprising:
- determining whether a tunable device is present among the at least one external device;
- dividing a channel frequency band into plural bands if the tunable device is present;
- and
- controlling the tuning unit and the communication unit to tune in the plural bands.
A control method of a signal receiving apparatus which includes a tuning unit including at least one tuner and a communication unit communicating with at least one external device, the control method comprising:
- determining whether a tunable device is present among the at least one external device;
- and
- controlling the communication unit to tune in a broadcasting signal different from a broadcasting signal tuned into by the tuning unit, through the tunable device, if the tunable device is present.
