An apparatus to manipulate a broadcast receiving device using a portable terminal obtains location information of a portable device and determines if any broadcast receiving devices and broadcast providing services are available at the location. The apparatus displays a user interface that allows a user to manipulate the broadcast receiving devices and broadcast providing services. Further, the apparatus detects a change in location of the portable terminal and may update the list of broadcast receiving devices and broadcast providing services that may be manipulated. A method for manipulating the broadcast receiving device includes obtaining the location of a portable terminal, collecting broadcast program information for broadcast receiving devices in the location, generating a user interface based on the broadcast program information and generating a signal to manipulate the device based on a user input into the user interface. |
