Abstract

A method of processing channel information and a receiver are disclosed. The receiver includes a first manager, a database, a channel manager, and a second manager. The first manager may receive a packet including service provider discovery information including service provider identification information, and a packet including service discovery information including content provider identification information and content service identification information and extracting the information included in the packets. The second manager may perform a control operation to form multi-part channel information using the identification information and receive a content service of a channel corresponding to the multi-part channel information.
