    Abstract: Improved technical functionality is provided to dynamically select and seamlessly play advertisements immediately before playing of a recorded program upon selection of the recorded program for playing, or upon other detected events and conditions associated with the set-top-box (STB) or user. In some embodiments, this is performed by using metadata which may be delivered to and stored on a digital video recorder (DVR) prior to recording the program, providing a technical solution to enable opportunities for additional advertisement impressions. Playing of the advertisement may also or instead occur upon the recorded program finishing playing. Thus, the technical solution provides the additional opportunity for the content creator and/or the satellite television or cable service provider to sell advertising spots in addition to those already sold for breaks within the recorded program.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and process described facilitate use of a first user device communicatively coupled to a local area network (LAN) The first user device may include a first hardware processor configured to execute first, non-transient, computer instructions for facilitating a first seamless DVR engine configured to identify a first content. A second user device is also coupled to the LAN. The second user device may include a second hardware processor configured to execute second, non-transient, computer instructions for facilitating a second seamless DVR configured to identify a second content. Each of the seamless DVR engines may be configured to generate a common universal directory identifying the first content and the second content as being available for use by each of the first user device and the second user device. User devices may independently populate the common universal directory. The universal directory may identify a distinct status for the content.

    Abstract: Devices, systems, and processes for facilitating seamless use of tuners across multiple devices within a LAN are described and may include use of a first user device, communicatively coupled to the LAN, that includes a first hardware processor configured to execute first, non-transient, computer instructions for facilitating a first seamless tuner engine configured to identify at least one first tuner. A second user device, communicatively coupled to the LAN, may include a second hardware processor configured to execute second, non-transient, computer instructions for facilitating a second seamless tuner configured to identify at least one second tuner. At least one of, if not each, of seamless tuner engines may be configured to generate a universal tuner directory identifying availability of each the tuners. The universal tuner directory may be populated and tuners allocated based upon an emergency broadcast, auto-tune, PPV, original content, re-run, or Joey request type.

    Abstract: It may occur that various addressable ads are used to help fill an entire addressable break which have little or no monetary value for being played (often referred to as “evergreen or “filler” ads). Such ads and other types of candidate ads for replacement are replaced in real time with programmatically delivered Internet Protocol (IP) based ads (IP ads). Upon encountering an indication of an upcoming ad break including one or more evergreen ads in an addressable ad playlist, an ad request may be automatically transmitted that puts those evergreen ad spots up for bidding by various advertisers, and then such ads may be replaced by IP ads that in total have a duration equaling the duration of the evergreen ads being replaced and that are based on, among other things, a user's or household's receiving device location, a current channel a particular receiving device at that location is tuned to, a particular program that is playing on that channel, a genre of the program, individual user and/or household demographics including, but not limited to: age category, marital status, income range, gender, education level, occupation, and number of people in the household, etc. The selected IP ad(s) are then, in real time, seamlessly inserted or “stitched”, as described herein, into a media content stream comprising or consisting of the television programming (e.g., live linear satellite (SAT) stream) or other media content stream.
