1. A system for remote user navigation of content displayed with a screen display, the system comprising:

  • a display device comprising a screen display;

    a user input device configured to;

    detect a plurality of user movements, including at least a first user movement, wherein the first user movement comprises a first direction and a first speed; and

    communicate information based on the plurality of detected user movements; and

    a media device configured to receive communications from the user input device, wherein the media device comprises;

    one or more processors; and

    memory communicatively coupled with, and readable by, the one or more processors, the memory having stored therein processor-readable instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to;

    process the information from the user input device;

    determine a baseline scrolling speed based on a baseline finger swipe speed;

    receive first user movement data from the user input device, the first user movement data comprising data indicating the first direction and the first speed;

    determine a scrolling operation for outputting electronic programming guide (EPG) content based on the first user movement data;

    determine a scroll speed for the scrolling operation, based at least in part on the first speed and based at least in part on the baseline scrolling speed, wherein the determined scrolling operation includes a zoom operation that automatically adjusts a zoom level for outputting EPG content, wherein the zoom level is proportional to the scroll speed of the scrolling operation; and

    output electronic programming guide (EPG) content to the display device in accordance with the scrolling operation, wherein the EPG content is output to the display device in accordance with the scroll speed and the automatically adjusting zoom level.
