Patent ID: 8489963

Claim:
A digital broadcast receiving apparatus, comprising: a tuner which receives a stream to which a Reed-Solomon (RS) parity and a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) value are added to be perpendicular to each other, and then which is interleaved; a demodulator which demodulates the received stream; an equalizer which equalizes the demodulated stream; and a decoder which decodes the equalized stream, wherein the received stream is constituted by the digital broadcast transmitting apparatus arranging plurality of streams according to a preset processing unit, in a manner that a stream of a single processing unit is disposed in at least one arrangement unit and a stream of a subsequent processing unit is disposed in a remaining area of the at least one arrangement unit, adding the RS parity to an end portion of the arranged plurality of streams in a direction perpendicular to an arrangement direction of the disposed stream, and adding the CRC value to the arranged plurality of streams in the arrangement direction of the disposed stream.
