Abstract: A method for providing broadcast service includes: (a) receiving schedule information for a multiple number of broadcast programs from a headend; (b) outputting a program selected by a user as a full screen; and (c) outputting a program navigation page by using the schedule information of the multiple broadcast programs if a pre-designated hand motion is detected. The program navigation page includes one of a category list page and a program list page, the category list page containing categories grouped according to use time, and the program list page containing programs belonging to each category. Depths are assigned in the order of the category list page, the program list page, and the A/V page, from higher to lower depths. A movement from a higher to a lower depth and a movement from a lower to a higher depth are performed via hand motions having different directionalities.
