Abstract: In an embodiment, a first tuner task type is identified from among a plurality of tuner task types, in response to receiving a first tuner request. The first tuner request was made to perform a tuner task of the first tuner task type. A first set of tuner selection rules specifically for the first tuner task type is determined and applied to a set of tuners to determine whether the set of tuners comprises a tuner available to perform the tuner task of the first tuner task type.

Abstract: Techniques described herein enable searching for multimedia content and for downloading or scheduling the recording of the multimedia content. The multimedia content may have been previously stored on one or more databases. The client device may download or schedule the recording of multimedia content in one step, for example, in one touch. When desired multimedia content is not available, the multimedia content is added to the client device's wish list. When the client device's does not have a wish list, the client device's wish list may be created on the spot. During the scheduling of the recording, a tag associated with the multimedia content is checked to determine whether the multimedia content is live or delayed. When the tag indicates the multimedia content is live or delayed, the client device prompts with a suggestion to add extra time to the end of the recording of the multimedia content.

Abstract translation: 本文描述的技术能够搜索多媒体内容并用于下载或调度多媒体内容的记录。 多媒体内容可能已经先前存储在一个或多个数据库上。 客户端设备可以在一个步骤中例如一个接一个地下载或安排多媒体内容的记录。 当期望的多媒体内容不可用时，多媒体内容被添加到客户端设备的愿望列表中。 当客户端设备没有希望列表时，客户端设备的愿望列表可以在现场创建。 在记录调度期间，检查与多媒体内容相关联的标签，以确定多媒体内容是实时还是延迟。 当标签指示多媒体内容是实时的或延迟的时，客户端设备提示建议在多媒体内容的记录结束时增加额外的时间。
