Claim Text:
1. A method of receiving a non real time service in a digital broadcast receiver via a terrestrial broadcast network, the method comprising: receiving, by a tuner, a broadcast signal including a main channel and an additional channel from the terrestrial broadcast network, wherein a main broadcast service is carried in real time in the main channel and a non-real time service is carried in non-real time in the additional channel; decoding, a first information received in real time from the broadcast signal via the terrestrial broadcast network, wherein the first information announces the sub-broadcast channel associated with a service type identifier to signify the non real time service; decoding, a second information received in real time from the broadcast signal via the terrestrial broadcast network, wherein the second information identifies a stream type for data sections for delivering the non-real time service and includes a packet identifier for identifying MPEG-2 TS packets carrying the data sections for delivering the non-real time service, wherein the second information includes a descriptor containing an identifier of the non-real time service carried in the MPEG-2 TS packets with the same packet identifier and the data sections are referenced by the packet identifier; decoding, a third information that is accessed within the additional channel based on the second information included in the main channel, wherein the third information includes signaling data for the non-real time service, the signaling data being separate from the first information and the second information, the signaling data describing content items available for download to storage in the digital broadcast receiver and wherein the non-real time service is associated with one or more content items, each of which consists of one or more files, the files include a collection of audio or video clips; wherein the signaling data includes information on time during which the content items are to be made available for download and information for identifying content items, and wherein the signaling data further includes security information indicating that content protection is applied to at least one file that constitutes the non-real time service, wherein the third information includes subscription period information specifying a subscription period for the content items when the content items are purchased, length information specifying a duration of playback of the content item, and location information specifying a location of the content item when the content item is available to be retrieved via an internet; receiving and storing, from the broadcast signal via the terrestrial broadcast network, non-real time service data based on the third information; decoding the stored non-real time service data; and providing the decoded non-real time service.
