Systems and methods are disclosed to facilitate the reception, processing, outputting, and communication of content from one or more sources. Content is stored on a digital video recorder device and a content storage server. The digital video recorder device exchanges metadata with the content storage server that indicates the specific content stored on the digital video recorder device. A communication device may request access to the content stored on the content storage server. The content storage server determines if the communication device is associated with a digital video recorder device that is storing the requested content. If the communication device is associated with a digital video recorder device storing the requested content, the content storage server sends the requested content stored on the content storage server to the communication device.
