    摘要: Methods and systems for transmitting an interruption-free version of a television program for recording on a user equipment device. In one aspect, a system transmits a first stream including a television program to a user equipment device. The system receives an indication that the television program is being recorded on the user equipment device. The system determines whether an interruption is imminent during transmission of the television program. In response to determining that the interruption is imminent, the system generates a second stream including the television program. The second stream does not include the interruption during the transmission of the television program. The system transmits the second stream to the user equipment device along with an instruction to switch recording of the television program from the first stream to the second stream.

    摘要: Determine and compare quality of service (QoS) for user device receiving same cloud-based media asset from plurality of over-the-top (OTT) content providers and display, using media listing, the media asset from content provider with better QoS. In one aspect, based on comparing same content from multiple OTT providers, server ranks first provider with higher QoS in ranked list above second provider with lower quality. In another aspect, first and second QoS is compared to threshold quality and resulting media guide based on comparison. Quality characteristics may include bandwidth constraints, error rate, bit rate, throughput lag, transmission delay, availability, latency or jitter. First and second QoS may be a weighted average and a checksum value may be queried from user device. Database listing ratings may compare different QoS with ratings displayed simultaneously in EPG. QoS alerts, notifications, user profiles, subscription data and automatic downloads may be used. Further comparison to same content from a third OTT provider may be determined. Interactive television EPG with aggregated content from numerous video on demand (VOD) providers allows viewers to simultaneously search media content libraries of each source via single interface and ensure they receive best quality video streaming available based on subscription options.
