Abstract

A first terminal device and a video display control method are described. The first terminal device includes at least two tuners configured to receive and decode a video; a first display unit configured to display video or image; a first communication unit configured to communicate with a second terminal device; and a first processing unit configured to control the at least two tuners, the first display unit and the first communication unit. The first processing unit chooses one of the at least two tuners as a primary tuner, and displays a first video of the primary tuner on the first display unit, and the first processing unit sets the other tuner of the at least two tuners as slave tuner, and transmits a video of the slave tuner to the second terminal device through the first communication unit so as to be displayed by the second terminal device.
