摘要： A system and method for providing a unified programming guide including receiving data representative of a plurality of multimedia channels (302) and associating channel numbers with at least a subset of the plurality of multimedia channels to generate a first channel numbering set (304, 306). The system and method further provides, in response to user input indicating a selection of a channel number of the first channel numbering set, data representative of one of the plurality of multimedia channels for display (308). A set of executable instructions manipulate a processor to display an electronic programming guide (EPG) interface (310). The EPG interface includes a user input interface to receive user information indicating a preferred arrangement of a plurality of multimedia channels ordered in a channel numbering set. Providing one of the plurality of multimedia channels for display based on the channel numbering set (310) in response to user input indicating a selection of a channel number.
