Systems and methods for providing program suggestions in an interactive television program guide

A system comprising:

• at one or more servers comprising control circuitry, the control circuitry configured to:
• determine that a first content having a first set of attributes is potentially of interest to a user;
• provide to user equipment data indicative of the first content as being of potential interest to the user;
• cause to be generated for display at the user equipment an indication of the first content as being of potential interest to the user;
• cause to be generated for display at the user equipment an option to indicate whether the user is interested in the first content;
• receive, from the user equipment, an input indicating that the user requested to remove the indication of the first content as being of potential interest to the user;
• and
• in response to receiving the input:
• cross-reference an attribute of the first set of attributes of the first content with a database of a plurality of contents to identify a second content associated with the attribute, the second content having a second set of attributes,
• cause to be reduced a likelihood that data indicative of the second content as being of potential interest to the user is provided to the user in the future, and
• cause the indication of the first content as being of potential interest to the user to be removed.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that when executed by control circuitry performs the method comprising:

• at one or more servers:
• determining that a first content having a first set of attributes is potentially of interest to a user;
• providing to user equipment data indicative of the first content as being of potential interest to the user;
• causing to be generated for display at the user equipment an indication of the first content as being of potential interest to the user;
• causing to be generated for display at the user equipment an option to indicate whether the user is interested in the first content;
• receiving, from the user equipment, an input indicating that the user requested to remove the indication of the first content as being of potential interest to the user;
• and
• in response to receiving the input:
• cross-referencing, using control circuitry, an attribute of the first set of attributes of the first content with a database of a plurality of contents to identify a second content associated with the attribute, the second content having a second set of attributes,
• causing, using the control circuitry, to be reduced a likelihood that the data indicative of the second content as being of potential interest to the user is provided to the user in the future, and
• causing, using the control circuitry, the indication of the first content as being of potential interest to the user to be removed.

A method comprising:

• at user equipment:
• determining that a first content having a first set of attributes is potentially of interest to a user;
• causing to be provided a listing of the first content as being of potential interest to the user;
• generating for display an indication of the first content as being of potential interest to the user;
• generating for display an option to indicate whether the user is interested in the second content;
• receiving an input indicating that the user requested to remove the listing of the first content;
• causing to be cross-referenced, using control circuitry, an attribute of the first set of attributes of the first content with a database of a plurality of contents to identify a second content associated with the attribute, the second content having a second set of attributes;
• reducing, using the control circuitry, a likelihood that a listing of the second content as being of potential interest to the user is provided to the user in the future based on the user selection;
• and
• causing the indication of the first content as being of potential interest to the user to be removed.
