Display device, program information display method in display device, receiving device, and signal transmission method in receiving device
There is provided a display device including a signal receiving unit for receiving a video signal from an external device via a transmission path through a plurality of channels using a differential signal, an information receiving unit for receiving program information from the external device using a bidirectional communication path including predetermined lines of the transmission path, an image display unit for displaying images on image display elements based on the video signal received by the signal receiving unit, and a program information display unit for displaying the program information on the image display elements based on the program information received by the information receiving unit.
1. A signal transmitting method of a receiving device having a broadcast receiving unit for obtaining a video signal of a predetermined program and electronic program guide information by receiving a broadcasting signal, comprising the steps of:
transmitting the video signal obtained by the broadcast receiving unit to an external device via a transmission path through a plurality of channels using a differential signal; and
transmitting the electronic program guide information obtained by the broadcast receiving unit to the external device via differential transmission lines formed from a pair of lines consisting of a first signal line and a second signal line which are different from the plurality of channels; and
receiving information about a connected state of an interface by a DC bias potential of a Hot Plug Detect (HPD) line of the transmission path, in which the transmission path is in a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cable.
