SIMPLIFIED SEARCHING FOR MEDIA SERVICES USING A CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

A method and apparatus are disclosed for searching for a media content related to a selected media service. A selected media service, as selected by a user operable indicator, has related metadata that is used as the basis of a search query (405). Once the search query is formulated (415), the query is submitted to a search engine that returns search results (425) of media content related to the selected media service. Media content (435) then may be selected from the returned search results for rendering in a rendering environment.
