Methods and systems that enable users to find and view programs are
described. In one embodiment, a user can access programs within a
particular program type in an electronic program guide and select
programs that are not available via a current electronic program guide.
If programs are available from one or more provisional sources, the user
can acquire one or more program. In other embodiments, electronic program
guide data is processed to identify movies within the guide data. A user
can then browse a collection movies some of which are available via an
associated electronic program guide and others of which are not available
via the electronic program guide. For movies that are not available via
the electronic program guide, a client device can ascertain whether such
movies are available from a provisional service source.
