    Abstract: A switched digital video (SDV) system is provided which includes a SDV manager for coordinating SDV sessions requested by a plurality of subscriber terminals associated with a service group. The system also includes an input for receiving SDV programming to be broadcast during the SDV sessions. At least one edge device is provided for receiving SDV programming provided by the input and for transmitting each SDV program over an access network to at least one of the subscriber terminals on one of a plurality of SDV channels. The SDV manager is configured to (i) cause transmission of at least a first requested SDV program to be delayed until a later time; and (ii) select the first requested SDV program to be delayed from among a plurality of requested SDV programs based at least in part on a current viewing and recording status of the plurality of subscriber terminals.

    Abstract: A graphical user interface for presenting media content having a series of representative pictorial images corresponding to various selected media publications. The interface further includes a metaphorical graphical representation of a rack shown as supporting the pictorial or thumbnail images of the media publications. Upon selection of a desired pictorial image, the selected pictorial image is brought to the forefront of the graphical rack representation to simulate taking a selected media publication off-the-rack. A series of content links are then presented to a user corresponding to the content of interest contained in the selected media publication. The user may click-on and select a content link allowing the user to browse through contents of the selected media publication. In addition, various methods are also provided for presenting electronically stored media content by visually depicting selected publications resting on a graphical rack representation as if arranged in a retail-store type display. Users click-on a publication bringing it to the forefront of the superimposed graphical rack representation to simulate taking a selected magazine or magazine off-the-rack for browsing.
