The present invention is directed towards enabling systems and methods for customizing and providing multiple interactive program guides (IPGs) for each member in a household. Once determined which member(s) is in the room watching television, the associated customized IPG is displayed. If there are multiple members in the room watching television, a customized combined IPG may be displayed. The present invention determines who is in the room by one of toggling buttons on a remote control; a GUI screen displaying the multiple members; facial recognition; Bluetooth or wireless technology, to name but a few.
