A display unit displays, during the broadcast mode, at least one icon dedicated to automatically controlling an external device to output the same broadcast as that of a current channel in the broadcast mode. A controller is configured to detect selection of the at least one icon and in response, to transmit via a wireless communication unit at least one command to the external device to automatically tune to a corresponding channel of the current channel and output the same broadcast thereof. The external control by the wireless terminal can enable uninterrupted switching of the broadcast from the wireless terminal to the external device.
