Claim:
A mobile terminal comprising: a broadcast receiving unit; a touchscreen to display a broadcast channel number; and a controller to control the broadcast channel number displayed on the touchscreen and to change a digit of the displayed broadcast channel number based on movement of a pointer relative to the touchscreen, wherein when a proximity touch and movement of the pointer occurs relative to the touchscreen and the proximity touch is maintained after the movement of the pointer, the controller is configured to change the displayed broadcast channel number while maintaining the proximity touch without changing a broadcast channel displayed on the touchscreen to a broadcast channel corresponding to the changed broadcast channel number, wherein when the proximity touch of the pointer relative to the touchscreen is released, the controller is configured to change the broadcast channel currently displayed on the touchscreen to the broadcast channel corresponding to the changed broadcast channel number, and wherein the controller is configured to determine a reception rate of the broadcast channel of the changed broadcast channel number, and displays the broadcast channel of the changed broadcast channel number when the determined reception rate is above a rate for deciding whether the determined reception rate is good or is not good, and the controller is configured to display an indication that a broadcast channel of the changed broadcast channel number is not receivable or has a poor reception rate when the determined reception rate is below the rate, and wherein the touchscreen includes at least two touch areas each corresponding to a different digit position of the broadcast channel number.
