Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing a unified multi-source video programming & navigation guide. In various embodiments, a computing system might receive first metadata, receive second metadata, and compile the first metadata and the second metadata. The first metadata might correspond to first video content available from a first video content source among a plurality of video content sources, while the second metadata might correspond to second video content available from a second video content source among the plurality of video content sources. The computing system might also generate a unified multi-source video programming and navigation guide (“UPG”) that lists in a blended fashion the first video content and the second video content, based at least in part on the first metadata and the second metadata. The computing system might display the UPG on a display screen of a display device.
