Abstract

A method and system display content, such as television programs, at a segment level. This includes segmenting the content into at least two segments, displaying a representation of at least one of the at least two segments, and indicating how the at least one of the at least two segments relate to the content. The term 'content' relates to any type of programming or information that can be broadcast, stored by a user, or otherwise transmitted to a user.
