Output useable to select a desired communication channel from among multiple communication channels in a plurality of channel categories is provided by way of a remote control device. A user accomplishes this by selecting, in place of a displayed icon that is to be “unselected,” another icon, representing the desired communication channel, within a selected category of icons displayed by the remote control device representing channels in a selected channel category. Upon selection of such an icon, icons within the selected category of icons and icon categories are both dynamically reconfigured, based on how recently the icons were selected, so as to minimize inputs necessary to alternate from the selected icon back to the unselected icon. A signal output from the remote control device is receivable by a communication device in order to effect a change over to the desired communication channel.
