The invention relates to a system for content selection. A consumer apparatus (101), such as a video recorder, comprises a receiver (103) for receiving content items from a plurality of sources (105, 107, 109, 111). The content items include real-time content items such as TV channels received from broadcast transmitters (105). The content items further include stored content items. The consumer apparatus (101) further comprises a presentation processor (113) which determines an earliest and a latest time of availability for each content item. The available content items are presented in a content set indication, which comprises indications of the earliest and latest times of availability for each content item. A user may select a content item simply by considering the availability times, and need not consider the nature or source of origin of a content item. Hence, an integrated selection list of content items may be provided for content items received from a plurality of various sources.
