    摘要: A favorite channel list for a media system is generated by observing the viewing, surfing, and recording habits of a user. The viewing habits may include the duration and frequency of viewing a channel. A user's surfing habits, including navigation habits of a guide, the method used for navigation to a channel, and information queries made during a surfing session may be used to determine which channels may be added to a favorites list. When the user has an ability to record a program and view the program later, the user's behavior in selecting programs for recording, and the behaviors of playing back and archiving recorded shows may also be used to identify favorite channels. In some embodiments, the favorites list may be customized for a user or node of a playback system, as well as time of day.

    摘要: A video recording system that controls recording of television programming relating to sporting events to better match the intent of a user who specified programming for recording. The system merges data from an electronic program guide and sports data, such as from a news feed, to determine values of recording parameters, such as start and stop time and channel. User input may specify a player, team, league or other sports entity for which sporting events are to be recorded. The system may use the sports data to identify sporting events involving the specified sports entity and then access an electronic program guide to determine a channel on which to record the sporting events. When the user specifies a sporting event to record, sports data may be used to track progress of the event and dynamically adjust an ending time of the recording to ensure that the full event is recorded.

    摘要: Multiple data inputs, to a recording device, including out-of-band data, are used in order to dynamically adjust the start and end times for recordings. These data inputs may include published program schedules, electronic program guide data, real-time data feeds, in-band data markers, and real-time services. In advance of and during an event recording, the media recorder monitors real-time data and determines whether the event will start early, start late, end early, or run past the initial scheduled duration. The media recorder may seek out other scheduled recordings for potential conflicts. If no conflicts are found, the media recorder automatically extends or contracts the length of the recording. If conflicts are found, the media recorder attempts to resolve the conflicts based upon priority designations, heuristics, or additional user input to determine whether to alter the scheduled recording session, for example, by extending the duration of the recording period or switching the recording function to a another scheduled program.
