Patent ID: 8707364

Claim:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage device, comprising computer instructions which, responsive to being executed by a processor of a media receiver, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: generating metadata representative of a viewing history of media programs that have been at least partially presented by the media receiver; providing the metadata to a remote server over a network; providing to the remote server, a request for generating a reorganized electronic programming guide that is limited to available media programs that have not been viewed at the media receiver, wherein the request causes the remote server to reorganize and modify an electronic programming guide associated with the media receiver according to the viewing history to generate the reorganized electronic programming guide, wherein the reorganized electronic programming guide excludes the media programs that have been at least partially presented by the media receiver, wherein the reorganized electronic programming guide collapses redundant media content into a single location in the reorganized electronic programming guide, and wherein the reorganized electronic programming guide organizes the available media programs that have not been viewed at the media receiver based on content genre; and receiving the reorganized electronic programming guide at the media receiver without the media receiver reorganizing the reorganized electronic programming guide.
