Abstract
A broadcast signal receiving apparatus, which is capable of simultaneously processing a plurality of transport streams in an appropriate manner, is comprised of: a pre-processing unitthat determines and extracts a piece of viewing-related data from each of a plurality of transport streams; a multiplexing unitthat multiplexes the extracted pieces of viewing-related data, and outputs the resulting multiplexed data to an adapter; and a demultiplexing unitthat obtains, from the adapter, the multiplexed data processed by the adapter, and demultiplexes the received data.
