Game Button
A button on the remote that cycles through sports events on at the time

I'm thinking of a button on a remote control that would cycle through all programs of a certain genre that are on at the time. This could be a feature of those DVRs with an electronic program guide. Let's say you like baseketball. When you pressed the special button the DVR would do a keyword/tag search of the listings and would cycle through the channels showing a baseketball game. I imagine this could be incorporated into something like MythTV fairly easily.

       It is my opinion that with the application of semantic web technology to today's digital television EPGs, these EPGs will develop into tomorrow's socially-networked user forums and marketplaces driven by user- generated reviews, within a non-scheduled broadcast model.

       I reckon so too.   

       It's all about the Meta data, baby!

       Dish Network supposedly does that with its "Theme" function. But I have never played with it. Seems they don't have a "Theme" for "Stuff I like" (They do have sports)
