Abstract
A viewer of a UHD may configure one or more home screens that are associated with that viewer at viewer login by selecting one or more home screen templates, each of which includes multiple content panes arranged in a unique layout. The viewer may modify the layout. Each home screen may be associated with a respective content genus so that, for example, when a sports program is presented and the viewer selects a “home” key on a remote commander, a sports-related home screen is presented based on the viewer-selected sports home screen template, whereas when a feature movie is presented and the viewer selects the “home” key, a movie-related home screen is presented based on the viewer-selected movie home screen template.
