A server device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• transmitting content to a media processor;
• transmitting programming data associated with the content to the media processor, wherein a remote control device receives the programming data and information associated with recorded content at the media processor, wherein the remote control device generates an index of content according to the information associated with the recorded content and the programming data, and wherein the remote control device generates a content selection guide from the index of the content and the programming data;
• receiving a viewing selection request from the media processor according to a viewing selection from the content selection guide as presented at a first display of the remote control device of the media processor, wherein a ranking of content is provided to the remote control device by the media processor according to the viewing selection;
• and
• transmitting first media content to the media processor according to the viewing selection that is received, wherein a media content is presented at second display that is coupled to the media processor.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a remote control device, information from a media processor that is associated with recorded content at the media processor and programming data associated with future content;
• generating, by the remote control device, a content selection guide from the information that is associated with the recorded content and the programming data associated with the future content;
• presenting, by the remote control device, the content selection guide at a display of the remote control device;
• receiving, by the remote control device, a viewing selection at the content selection guide that is presented;
• transmitting, by the remote control device, the viewing selection to a media processor;
• and
• receiving, by the remote control device, a ranking of content from the media processor, wherein the ranking of content is generated according to the viewing selection.
