    Abstract: A broadcast receiving device is disclosed. The broadcast receiving device includes: a data storage unit; a communication unit configured to receive a first electronic program guide (EPG) through a broadcast network and to receive a second EPG through the Internet; and a controller. The controller may be configured to: process the first EPG to generate first broadcast-related information, process the second EPG to generate second broadcast-related information, make the first broadcast-related information and the second broadcast-related information into databases having different data structures and store the databases in the data storage unit. In addition, when a broadcast-related information request is received from an application being executed, the controller may selectively search a database corresponding to at least one of the first broadcast-related information and the second broadcast-related information to obtain requested broadcast-related information and to deliver the obtained broadcast-related information to the application.
