I'm running into trouble with お勧めナビ... I'm not coming up with anything that doesn't sound like 直訳. What would be a good way to say it that sounds like something that English native speakers would say?

Thank you.

English translation:Personalized Recommendations (Guide?)
Explanation:
If it's user-based (TiVo offers this kind of feature, so highly likely these days) then as a suggestion:
お勧めナビ通知中 Personalized Recommendation Alert*
お勧めナビ画面 Personalized Recommendations Screen

*(this would be my preference to something like 'notification,' context permitting...)

That said, I wouldn't object to the 直訳 use of 'navigation' either - I think its usage in this kind of context is becoming more common.

sorry, I forgot that I can add my note here. If you google "番組ナビ", you will find find some sites with similar concepts, though the presentation is different from the TV screen. I believe they have a TV schedule in a calender-format, like TV guide, and a link list which is the naviation list. I believe you can vote or give your review there...
