1. A method for controlling an external input of a broadcast receiving apparatus, the method comprising:
setting a call word of an external input apparatus connected to an external input terminal of the broadcast receiving apparatus; associating the call word with the external input terminal and storing the call word and the external input terminal in association with each other; in response to a voice of a user being input, recognizing the voice to determine whether the voice includes the call word; in response to determining the voice includes the call word, enabling the external input terminal corresponding to the call word to communicate with the external input apparatus using the external input terminal corresponding to the call word; in response to determining that a new external input apparatus is connected through the external input terminal, determining whether the new external input apparatus is the same as a previous external input apparatus connected through the external input terminal; and in response to determining that the new external input apparatus is different from the previous external input apparatus, setting a call word of the new external input apparatus.
