Abstract
An apparatus and method for displaying video data on a screen in a digital television system are disclosed. Since a viewer can easily notice that he or she is watching a multi-angle digital channel according to the present invention, the viewer can conveniently select a desired picture. The method includes tuning to a channel selected by a viewer and displaying the video data depending on a total number of video IDs of the selected channel and whether a multi-angle mode is set. If a multi-angle mode is set, the apparatus decodes all sets of the received video data and display all of them in a screen at same time. Then the viewer can select a desired channel. If the multi-angle mode is not set, it displays the first encoded set of video data with a multi-angle icon. The icon indicates the current picture the viewer is watching is one of the multi-angle pictures. Similarly, he or she can easily select a desired channel by simply using the remote control device.
