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.

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)
