Channel filter for a content player

A method of facilitating channel selection, comprising:

• receiving a first channel-filter input that is mapped to both a number and a letter;
• and
• presenting a filtered channel list including:
• channels having a channel number at least partially matched by the number to which the first channel-filter input is mapped, and
• channels having a channel name at least partially matched by the letter to which the first channel-filter input is mapped.

A memory comprising machine executable instructions that, when executed, provide for:

• receiving one or more cumulative channel-filter inputs;
• for each cumulative channel-filter input, presenting a progressively filtered channel list including only channels identified by the cumulative channel-filter inputs;
• and
• playing content from a channel selected from the progressively filtered channel list.
