Abstract
A computer-implemented method of selecting a media program includes continuously monitoring a plurality of media programs on available channels and analyzing, by a processor, a content of the programs. The content is compared to a set of user preferences and the programs are ranked based on the user preferences. An optimal program is selected based on the rankings and is switched to. A media system includes a media output device and a user interface. A controller is operably connected to the media output device and to the user interface. The controller includes a control system configured to monitor media programs on available channels and analyze a content of the media programs. The content is compared to a set of user preferences and the programs are ranked based on the user preferences. An optimal media program is selected based on the rankings and is switched to by the control system.
