A digital device, the device comprising:

• a processing unit;
• a memory unit in communication with the processing unit that stores a service information application in the form of computer-readable program instructions including,
• first instructions for generating a current service information view that provides access to service information currently being delivered;
• and
• second instructions for generating one or more future service information views that provide access to service information of future service delivery and wherein each of the one or more future service information views are defined by hierarchical time planes;
• and
• a display that displays the service information view and the one or more future service information views upon execution of the service information application by the processing unit.

A method for accessing future service information on a digital device, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a current service information view on a display of the digital device;
• activating a user interface to change the view to a future service information view including a listing of future services;
• selecting a future service from the future service information view;
• and
• displaying a service option view that provides a user options related to the future service.

A method for accessing stored service on a digital device, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a current service information view on a display of the digital device;
• activating a user interface to change the view to a past service information view including a listing of stored services;
• selecting a stored service from the future service information view;
• and
• accessing the stored services.

A graphical user interface that provides for access to service information on the display of a digital device, the graphical user interface being generated by computer-readable program instructions stored in a computer readable storage medium, the computer-readable program instructions comprising:

• first instructions for generating a first view that includes a future time plane and a plurality of user-selectable media objects, wherein each of the selectable media objects correspond to information related to a future service;
• and
• second instructions for generating a second view that includes a past time plane and a plurality of user-selectable media objects, wherein each of the selectable media objects correspond to information related to a previously stored service.
• wherein user input to the digital device directs the user interface to change from the first view to the second view.
