An interactive entertainment network system has a video-on-demand (VOD)
application which enables viewers to select criteria for grouping various
video content programs (e.g., movies, games, TV shows, etc.) into
manageable sets for convenient review. Once grouped, the previews or
"trailers" for the set of programs are displayed. The VOD application
permits the viewer to browse the trailers at their own rate, skipping
forward to the next trailer or backward to the previous trailer. If the
viewer settles on a particular program, the VOD application also allows
the user to rent the program immediately from the trailer being displayed
on their television set, without returning to a menu or other order
screen.
