Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods are provided for assisting user selection of media content viewed utilizing a media receiver. In an embodiment, the method includes the step or process of establishing whether high interest media content is currently displayed via the media receiver. If high interest media content is currently displayed via the media receiver, it is determined when user input is received causing the media receiver to display other media content following commencement of an advertisement set disrupting viewing of the high interest media content. When so determined, the media receiver then monitors for cessation of the advertisement set. If the media receiver does not resume display of the high interest media content prior to cessation of the advertisement set, the media receiver further performs at least one specified action in response to cessation of the advertisement set.
