    Abstract: Methods and systems for directing a user to desired content are described. In an aspect, a user can be directed to desired content through content bundling. As an example, in response to a user setting a digital video recorder (DVR) to record a particular program, a set of programs based on the particular program can also be recorded on the file and/or suggested to the user for recording. The order that the programs appear in the file is determined by a logical sequence, such as the order in which the programs first aired. In an aspect, a user can be directed to desired content during a particular point in current content, such as when the end credits begin to roll. The desired content can be identified as desired content based on the current content.
