Abstract

A display control method includes the steps of: dividing a screen into a first display region, on which a first broadcast signal is displayed, and a second display region having a plurality of sub screens, on which a second broadcast signal is displayed, in which the second broadcast signal is received in response to a channel searching command; and controlling a position of display region on which the second broadcast signal is displayed according to the viewer's control command. Broadcast signals of channels that a viewer wants to watch can be simply searched, thus maximizing the viewer's convenience.
