A computer-readable storage device including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a media server, a media stream that includes a group of segments of media content associated with a user-selected category, wherein the group of segments includes a first segment corresponding to a portion of a first program and a second segment corresponding to a portion of a second program;
• receiving user input during playback of the media stream, the user input indicating the first segment;
• sending data based on the user input to the media server;
• and
• receiving, from the media server, a modified stream based on the user input, wherein the first segment is replaced by an entirety of the first program in the modified stream, and wherein the modified stream includes the second segment subsequent to the entirety of the first program.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory, the memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute operations comprising:
