Method and system for displaying digital broadcast data

Abstract

A method and system for displaying digital broadcast signals are disclosed. The method displays a broadcast signal, transmitted from a portable terminal having a digital broadcast receiver, on an external device having a decoding unit. When the external device transmits a digital broadcast playback request and selected channel information, the portable terminal controls the digital broadcast receiver to select a broadcast channel according to the selected channel information, demultiplexes a broadcast signal of the selected broadcast channel, and transmits the demodulated broadcast signal. The external device classifies the demodulated broadcast signal as audio, video, and broadcast information, decodes the classified signals and plays them back. When a communication event is generated while the portable terminal demodulates and transmits the broadcast signals of the selected broadcast channel, the communication event is transmitted to the external device and a wireless communication route is established to process the communication event.
