A multifunctional display device, comprising:
- a tuner configured to tune to a channel of a broadcast signal;
- a network interface configure to receive data packets;
- a display module;
- a wireless input interface configure to receive signals from a wireless remote control device;
- a storage device to store data;
- a processor to control the display module based on at least one of broadcast signal, data packets or signals received from the wireless remote control device, wherein the processor is configured to execute the following:
- (a) an instruction to display a shortcut menu including a list of characters in a specific language, wherein the shortcut menu is displayed with content on a screen of the display module;
- (b) an instruction to receive one or more signals to select at least one of the characters in the list of the shortcut menu;
- and
