The method also includes obtaining image feature data extracted from a video program being viewed by at least one user of a user device on a current channel, and detecting that the video program being watched by the user is an undesired program and determining a channel number of a channel of the video program being watched based on the image feature data and the feature database. Further, the method includes determining channel recommendation including at least one desired channel to be switched to from the undesired program, and generating an adaptive TV guide for the user to skip the undesired program and to switch to the desired channel.
