Abstract:
1. A broadcast signal processing system, the broadcast signal processing system comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive a broadcast signal; a decoding unit configured to decode the broadcast signal received by the receiving unit; a display unit configured to display broadcast content according to the broadcast signal decoded by the decoding unit; an interface unit configured to communicate with a storage device through a wired network or a wireless network; and a control unit configured to control access to the storage device through the interface unit using connection information as to the storage device connected by the interface unit and to control storage of the broadcast signal decoded by the decoding unit in the storage device or playback of content stored in the storage device by the display unit, wherein when a request for displaying a storage device currently connected with the broadcasting signal processing system is inputted through a user interface, the display unit displays the connection information for a previously connected storage device through the interface unit, and wherein when the previously connected storage device is not currently connected based on the connection information, the control unit performs a search function, the search function searching a new storage device through the network by the interface unit using a network protocol, the new storage device being capable of currently connecting with the broadcasting signal processing system through the network by the interface unit, and then the display unit displays search information for the new storage device searched through the network by the interface unit.
