A remote control multimedia content listing system for providing an
updated content listing of various media within a remote control. The
remote control multimedia content listing system includes a remote
control having a housing, a display, a keypad, and an electronic system
for receiving configuration data from a control station via a global
computer network (e.g. Internet). The user may enter media information
into the electronic system thereafter uploading the media information to
the control station. The control station analyzes the uploaded media
information and transmits the appropriate configuration data to properly
configure the electronic system to provide a usable "guide" for the
media. The user may also access a web site of the control station and
manually enter the media information after which the control station
sends the appropriate configuration data to the electronic system. The
electronic system also preferably receives automatic updates of the
configuration data when connected to the control station via the Internet
for maintaining an updated multimedia listing.
