Abstract
Systems and methods related to channel surfing are provided. In one example, a method includes receiving a user request to view presentation of a channel guide on a display, generating a channel guide including a channel list, at least one scroll indicator, and a focus indicator, and communicating the channel guide to the display. The display includes a main display area, a channel list display area overlaid on the main display area, and a focus area. The channel list is displayed in the channel list display area while the primary content of a current channel is being presented in the main display. The method further includes receiving a first user input activating the scroll indicator in a scroll direction, causing the channel identifiers to move in the channel list display area while the primary content continues to be presented in the main display area.
