Abstract:
1. A display apparatus, comprising: a broadcasting receiver which receives a broadcasting signal; a communication unit which communicates with an external device comprising a storage medium; a first buffer which buffers the broadcasting signal, which is transmitted to the external device, to store the received broadcasting signal in the storage medium; a second buffer which buffers the broadcasting signal received from the external device to play the broadcasting signal stored in the storage medium; and a controller which detects both a buffered data volume in the first buffer and a buffered data volume in the second buffer, and outputs a control signal to the external device to control an output rate of the broadcasting signal of the external device based on at least one of the detected buffered data volume in the first buffer and the detected buffered data volume in the second buffer when a broadcasting recording and playing function which stores the broadcasting signal in the storage medium and plays the stored broadcasting signal, is executed, wherein the external device is external to the display apparatus.
