Abstract

Disclosed are methods and systems for displaying content recommendations (26b) to a television viewer (21). In one aspect of the invention, when the user changes channel (24), the system displays contact recommendations (26b) to the user (21) before going to the next channel. The recommendations are based on user profiles and/or aggregated multi-user content (214). In a further aspect, the user (21) can decide on one of the recommendations (or answer a yes/no query) to migrate to the corresponding content (22).
