1. A method comprising:

outputting a video of a scheduled media asset for display in a full screen display;

receiving a first navigational command from a user input device;

generating for display in a partial screen media guidance application display over the video of the scheduled media asset, a first media asset identifier for a first unscheduled media asset and a channel identifier for a source of the first unscheduled media asset in response to receiving the first navigational command;

receiving a second navigational command from the user input device;

generating for display in place of the first media asset identifier, a second media asset identifier for a second unscheduled media asset available from the source, when the second navigational command is received;

receiving a user input from the user input device; and

generating for display, the second unscheduled media asset, when the user input is received.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first navigational command is associated with a first directional input and a first direction and the second navigational command is associated with a second directional input and a second direction.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first unscheduled media asset is a first recorded media asset and the second unscheduled media asset is a second recorded media asset.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first recorded media asset and the second recorded media asset are stored at a server.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduled media asset is a broadcast media asset.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a third navigational command from the user input device prior to receiving the first navigational command;

generating for display in the partial screen media guidance application display over the video of the scheduled media asset, a third media asset identifier for the scheduled media asset, and a second channel identifier for a second source of the scheduled media asset when the third navigational command is received.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the second source of the scheduled media asset is a broadcast channel.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving a fourth navigational command from the user input device after receiving the third navigational command and prior to receiving the first navigational command;

generating for display in place of the third media asset identifier and the second channel identifier, a third channel identifier for a third source of unscheduled media assets;

receiving a second user input from the user input device;

generating for display, a third unscheduled media asset in response to receiving the second user input.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the third source is an on-demand channel.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the third unscheduled media asset is a video-on-demand media asset.

11. A system comprising:

a processor configured to:

output a video of a scheduled media asset for display in a full screen display;

receive a first navigational command from a user input device;

generate for display in a partial screen media guidance application display over the video of the scheduled media asset, a first media asset identifier for a first unscheduled media asset and a channel identifier for a source of the first unscheduled media asset in response to receiving the first navigational command;

receive a second navigational command from the user input device;

generate for display in place of the first media asset identifier, a second media asset identifier for a second unscheduled media asset available from the source, when the second navigational command is received;

receive a user input from the user input device; and

generate for display, the second unscheduled media asset, when the user input is received.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first navigational command is associated with a first directional input and a first direction and the second navigational command is associated with a second directional input and a second direction.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first unscheduled media asset is a first recorded media asset and the second unscheduled media asset is a second recorded media asset.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first recorded media asset and the second recorded media asset are stored at a server.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the scheduled media asset is a broadcast media asset.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a third navigational command from the user input device prior to receiving the first navigational command;

generate for display in the partial screen media guidance application display over the video of the scheduled media asset, a third media asset identifier for the scheduled media asset, and a second channel identifier for a second source of the scheduled media asset when the third navigational command is received.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the second source of the scheduled media asset is a broadcast channel.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a fourth navigational command from the user input device after receiving the third navigational command and prior to receiving the first navigational command;

generate for display in place of the third media asset identifier and the second channel identifier, a third channel identifier source for a third source of unscheduled media assets;

receive a second user input from the user input device;

generate for display, a third unscheduled media asset in response to receiving the second user input.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the third source is an on-demand channel.

20. The system of claim 18 , wherein the third unscheduled media asset is a video-on-demand media asset.
