    Description

      For systems with 100+ channels (i.e. Sat users) need more granularity for the TVGuide to find information quicker.
      The suggestion is to have 10 predefined groups (0-9) with option 0 always being All Channels.
      Maybe the groups could be user nameable ???

      The suggestion is to have another screen before entering the TVGuide after choosing the TVGuide option from My TV home to quickly choose the grouping of the channel type you wish to watch.
      i.e. If you want to see what Sports programmes are on based on the suggestions below the user would simply press 3 or navigate & select the channel grouping.
      The TVGuide would subsequently show only the Sports channels associated to that pre-defined group.

      Suggested Groups:

      0 - All Channels, 1 - Entertainment, 2 - Movies, 3 - Sports, 4 - News, 5, Music 6, Kids, 7 - Lifestyle & Culture, 8 - Documentaries, 9 - Shopping.

      This will make it alot easier to find programmes by grouped genre but also in the future you could probably use it to define channel numbering.
      i.e. Entertainment can start from 101-199, Movies 201-299 etc...ok maybe open to debate... ;-)

      The extra screen should be again user selectable in configuration for those who are likely to have a small number of channels and hence are unlikely to benefit from such a feature.
