For a graphical user interface (GUI) for an audio video display device (AVDD) showing plural content information panels arranged in a grid, each content panel belongs to a respective category, with content panels of different categories being mixed on the screen. A category icon with an associated color and shape is presented next to each content panel to make it easy for a viewer to understand which category of item the content panels represents. Examples of some categories are favorites, recorded, recommended, frequently viewed, and now playing. Next to each icon, a numeral pertaining to the grid position of the content may also appear to facilitate voice selection of a content panel by number.

In a grid based GUI system that scrolls, a pane in the grid showing a decimated view of a currently selected video does not scroll when the other panels in the grid scroll. In this way the viewer can always see the current video while navigating to other panels in the grid representing respective video content.
