Abstract

A method of displaying multimedia content on a display area of a broadband Internet-enabled television system includes providing a remote control to control contents being displayed on the display area. A television content is displayed on the display area (2402). A first instruction transmitted by the remote control in response to activation of a first button is received (2404). A first synthetic channel page is displayed in response to the first instruction (2406). The first synthetic channel page includes a television content section and an Internet content section.
