Abstract

A method for organizing television program content (106), the method including receiving metadata (104) describing a plurality of television program, storing a plurality of content group definitions (106) at a client- side device (102), where each content group is defined by a set of metadata values, including any of the television programs in any of the content groups where metadata of any of the television program match any of the sets of metadata values, and mapping any of the content groups to a user-defined channel (110) at the client-side device.
