Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for navigating between groups of media assets based on multiple user inputs of directional navigation commands received within a threshold period of time of each other. Specifically, the system may navigate through a number of ordered groups of media assets without presenting information to the user related to the specific groups (e.g., present to the user media assets associated with the group) in response to receiving the multiple directional navigation commands, thus allowing a user to navigate to a desired group of media assets with fewer distractions.
