摘要:
A method for managing a first television tuner and a second television tuner is provided. The method includes detecting when a channel request is received at the first television coupled to the first television tuner and detecting whether a recording is scheduled for the first television tuner. Thereafter, a user is queried via a second television to determine whether the second television tuner is available to record a scheduled recording.
