Display apparatus and control method thereof

Abstract

A display apparatus includes a signal receiver configured to receive a broadcast signal, a signal processor configured to process the received broadcast signal, a display configured to display an image based on the processed broadcast signal, a user input receiver configured to receive a user input, a storage, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the storage to store information about an external device being mapped to a channel among a plurality of channels in accordance with the user input, display the information about the external device corresponding to the mapped channel, and control the external device via the mapped channel. Thus, a user may easily register the external device with a channel simply by placing an input device, such as a remote controller or the like, in proximity to the external device while viewing a broadcast.
