Abstract
A method and user interface is provided for creating a channel list. The user interface has a plurality of channels associated with a device. The number of times each channel is selected and the length of time user spends viewing each channel is then determined, such as via a processor. The channel set is then registered including at least one preference channel based on at least one of the determined number of times each channel is selected for viewing and determined length of time each channel of the device is selected for viewing.
Claims20
