Abstract
Methods for providing access to third-party content related to a television program of interest to a user via a single user interface. When a user schedules a recording of a television program, the metadata associated with the television program is obtained. At least one broadcast network content provider and at least one non-broadcast network content provider are queried for content relevant to the metadata. Content received from the at least one broadcast network content provider and the at least one non-broadcast network content provider is aggregated by type of media and stored. A navigation strip is rendered providing access to the recorded television program and the content received from the at least one broadcast network content provider and the at least one non-broadcast network content provider.
