ABSTRACT:
A video system has an input port to receive display contents including a plurality of broadcast display contents and has an output port to couple to a video display. Further, the system includes a preference engine, a storage device and a management module. The preference engine is coupled to the input port and tracks viewer selections of the broadcast display contents to create a viewer profile. The storage device is coupled to the input port, the output port and the preference engine, and records a first plurality of display contents according to the viewer profile and a second plurality of display contents upon a viewer selecting the display contents for recording. The management module is coupled to the preference engine and the storage device, and defines a third plurality of display contents based upon the available broadcast display contents for a viewing session and based upon the viewer profile. Further, the management module creates a menu of viewing choices comprising at least one of the first plurality of display contents, the second plurality of display contents and the third plurality of display contents. The menu is displayable on the video display from which a viewer can select a sequence of display contents for the viewing session.
