The invention relates to a system for providing a selection list of
content items to a user. The content items may comprise video content,
audio content and multimedia content including received or recorded TV or
radio programmes. An apparatus comprises a content receiver (103) for
receiving content items. The content items may be stored in a content
memory (105). The apparatus further comprises a duration processor (111),
which determines a content item duration indication for each of the
content items. A content item list processor (113) generates an ordered
content list comprising content items ordered in response to the content
item duration indication. The ordered list is presented to the user as a
selection list by a user interface (107). The user may select a content
item for presentation by highlighting the content item in the selection
list. The content item duration indication may relate to a remaining time
of a programme.
