Abstract
Methods, systems and devices present information on a display in response to a user input received from an input device. One or more options are presented in a first portion of a user interface on the display, and a first user input indicating one of the options is received. In response to the first user input, a sub-menu of options associated with the indicated one of the first list of options is presented in a second portion of the user interface. In response to a second user input selecting the indicated one of the options, the sub-menu of options is presented in the first portion of the user interface. The various methods, systems and devices may be implemented in a media catcher system that selects and presents media content from one or more different sources.
