Abstract

Display features of an interactive user interface for a TV environment allow a user to interact with objects and/or information within a display space. A display space including a data content region 47 and a video data display region 53 is provided, wherein the data content region includes user selectable entities each representing a viewable content item. At least one viewable content item is part of a group of viewable content items, and in response to a user command associated with a selected content item entity representing a viewable content item which is part of a group of viewable content items, a menu 61 is displayed to the user with options relating to the group of viewable content items. Such options can include recording a series of programmes.
