Abstract
A system and a method for recording digital broadcasting programs are disclosed. The system executes the clipping function that allows a user to select a portion of a recorded video signal, time-shifted video signal, or real-time broadcasting video signal through a guide bar in an OSD form, and stores only the video signal of the selected portion in an HDD. This prevents the HDD from being unnecessarily wasted and allows the user to easily perform the clipping function. Even a time-shifted program is stored in the HDD through the clipping function so that the user can reproduce the time-shifted program whenever he wants to watch it.
