Broadcast receiving apparatus and method for performing manual fine tuning

A broadcast receiving method comprising:

• processing a broadcast signal of a pre-tuned channel;
• receiving a signal requesting manual fine tuning (MFT) of an optimal frequency of the pre-tuned channel;
• determining whether the pre-tuned channel is blocked;
• and
• if it is determined that the pre-tuned channel is blocked, generating an information message and displaying the information message and maintaining blocking of the pre-tuned channel,
• wherein the information message indicates that MFT cannot be performed on the channel.

A broadcast receiving apparatus comprising:

• a signal processor which processes a broadcast signal of a channel;
• an image generator which generates a manual fine tuning (MFT) image;
• a display which displays the MFT image;
• and
• a controller which, when a signal requesting manual fine tuning of a pre-tuned channel is received, determines whether the broadcast signal of the pre-tuned channel is blocked, performs manual fine tuning to adjust an optimal frequency of the pre-tuned channel, and if it is determined that the broadcast signal is blocked, maintains blocking of the pre-tuned channel.
