Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for acquiring, categorizing, and delivering media in interactive media guidance applications.SOLUTION: Systems and methods are discussed for providing guidance for Internet-delivered media. In some embodiments, information on available media on the Internet is gathered. The information is associated with existing media guidance data. The associations enable a media guidance application to identify relevant online media and to display listings in a user-friendly way. A user interface for an online media guidance application is also provided. The user interface allows a user to narrow down the large amount of Internet-delivered media in a systematic way according to criteria that interests a user.
