A broadcast data receiver (BDR) is provided with a web browser system. A
service provided by the web browser system si selectable by a user of the
BDR and, when selected, is controllable by the user via a remote control
handset, thereby allowing an Internet web site page for display on a
display screen connected to or forming part of the BDR to be determined
and one or more user options can be selected if required. One or more
icons are generated on at least a portion of the display screen and each
of the icons represents a button on the remote control handset. Each icon
is mapped to a specific control function or option of the web browser,
thereby allowing user selection of a web browser control function or
option by selection of the appropriate button on the remote control
handset.
