while the second plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the second list are displayed on the display, receive a second user voice input via the voice receiver, and

based on the second user voice input corresponding to at least one second text indicating information of one content of the selectable contents of the second list and displayed in one thumbnail image of the second plurality of thumbnail images, control the display to display the one content of the selectable contents of the second list.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

based on the first user voice input being received via the voice receiver, control the communicator to transmit the first user voice input to a text converter,

based on the first user voice input being converted into a text by the text converter, control the communicator to receive, from the text converter, the text into which the first user voice input is converted, and

identify whether the first user voice input corresponds to the at least one first text based on the text into which the first user voice input is converted, and

wherein the processor is configured to:

based on the second user voice input being received via the voice receiver, control the communicator to transmit the second user voice input to the text converter,

based on the second user voice input being converted into a text by the text converter, control the communicator to receive, from the text converter, the text into which the second user voice input is converted, and

identify whether the second user voice input corresponds to the at least one second text based on the text into which the second user voice input is converted.

3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the text converter is included in the server.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the selectable contents of the second list are different from the selectable contents of the first list.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, based on the first user voice input corresponding to the at least one first text, the processor is configured to control the display to display an execution screen of the one content of the selectable contents of the first list.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, based on the second user voice input corresponding to the at least one second text, the processor is configured to control the display to display an execution screen of the one content of the selectable contents of the second list.

7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first list comprises at least one of title information, alias title information and identification information of the selectable contents of the first list, and

wherein the second list comprises at least one of title information, alias title information and identification information of the selectable contents of the second list.

8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one content of the selectable contents of the first list is a content of the broadcast program, and the processor is configured to control the broadcast receiver to receive the one content of the selectable contents of the first list to be displayed on the display.

9. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the second user voice input corresponding to the at least one second text, control the display to display, on a first location of the display, first information on a first content that is related to the at least one second text and has been already viewed and display, on a second location of the display, second information on a second content that is related to the at least one second text and is newly viewable, the first location and the second location being different from each other.

10. A method for providing content information of a display apparatus including a display, the method comprising:

receiving a broadcast program from a television broadcast network;

receiving a moving image content from an Internet Protocol (IP) network;

displaying a first plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to a first list of selectable contents associated with the received broadcast program and the received moving image content, wherein at least one first text indicating information of one content of the selectable contents is displayed in one thumbnail image of the first plurality of thumbnail images and wherein the first plurality of thumbnail images include a thumbnail image associated with the received broadcast program and a thumbnail image associated with the received moving image content;

while the first plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the first list are displayed on the display, receiving a first user voice input;

based on the first user voice input corresponding to the thumbnail image associated with the received broadcast program, tuning a broadcasting channel corresponding to the thumbnail image associated with the received broadcast program and outputting the received broadcast program received from the broadcasting channel through a broadcast receiver of the display apparatus;

based on the first user voice input corresponding to the thumbnail image associated with the received moving image content, receiving data corresponding to the received moving image content from the IP network through a communicator of the display apparatus and outputting the received data on a screen of the display;

based on the first user voice input not corresponding to information related to any one of the selectable contents of the first list, transmitting data corresponding to the first user voice input, to a server, the information related to any one of the selectable contents of the first list including the at least one first text displayed in the one thumbnail image of the first plurality of thumbnail images, receiving, from the server, data corresponding to a search result which is based on the first user voice input, displaying the search result including a second plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to a second list of selectable contents corresponding to the first user voice input;
