Abstract
A television system allows viewers to access a number of different groups of television content, or 'service aggregates.' A portal interface for each group provides a direct means for the viewer to navigate between members of a service aggregate, without necessarily having to accesses a global program guide for the television system. The groups of television content can be formed from various criteria including forming the groups based on business rules.
