Various technologies for selecting media (e.g., television media) are des cribed. A media selection method displays a tool for selecting a category, s uch as a television genre, to a user. Upon receiving a user selection, the s elected category having a number of channels is visually illustrated on a ch annel selection spectrum (e.g., a circular arc channel selection spectrum). For example, if the selected category is sports, then a number of channels c orresponding to sports channels are highlighted on the channel selection spe ctrum. Moreover, in one example, the channel selection spectrum works in con junction with a touchscreen device. Thus, a user can navigate with his or he r finger to quickly select and browse the available channels. Also, optional ly, non-highlighted channels are automatically bypassed to assist user navig ation. Additionally, upon receiving user selection of a channel, in one exam ple, the media content corresponding to the selected channel is played.</SDO AB> |
