Abstract: Systems and methods provide for displaying an electronic program guide (EPG) on a display generated by a set top box (STB) or other television receiver. The electronic program guide is presented in at least a portion of the display. A resize indicator is also provided on the display so that viewer inputs corresponding to the resize indicator can be received. The size of the electronic program guide presented on the display can be adjusted in response to the viewer input corresponding to the resize indicator.

Abstract: Synchronising digital media content to a device is achieved using the following steps: (a) identifying a digital media collection linked to a given user; (b) analysing the content of the digital media collection to derive a “taste signature” for that user; (c) identifying, based on the “taste signature” analysis, the priority order in which media content files are to be provided to the device during a synchronisation; (d) providing one or more media content files to the device during the synchronisation.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for changing the presentation of a current channel to another channel on a display in response to a viewer input received via a remote control. Viewer input from a remote control is received at a set-top box (STB) or similar television receiver. Imagery on the display initially corresponds to the current channel. At least a portion of the imagery is scrolled in response to the viewer input to thereby tune the other channel on the display.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presenting a picture-in-picture (PIP) window on a television or other display generated by a set-top box (STB) or other video receiver. The picture-in-picture window is presented in conjunction with a navigation feature on the display. A two-dimensional input associated with the navigation feature is received from a remote control having a touchpad or other two-dimensional input device. The picture-in-picture window on the display is appropriately adjusted in response to the two-dimensional input.
