Abstract: Provided are methods and apparatus to display a timer that counts down the time remaining in an interstitial of a recorded program stream before a next segment of the program content in the recorded program stream starts. In one embodiment, the interstitial contains at least one advertisement and the timer is displayed when the at least one advertisement is presented on a display device. The timer count is based on the calculated duration of the interstitial in the recorded program stream.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided to deliver messages between a television distributor and groups of television receivers. A data processing system provides a message exchange service that routes messages to any number of queues based upon various routing keys. Each of the customer-operated television receivers establishes a queue with the routing service that is bound to any number of routing keys. Keys may be selected based upon characteristics of the receiver, geographic factors, demographic factors, subscribed services, customer preferences or the like. When a service wants to send a message to a particular group, it sends the message to the group's routing key, and the routing service delivers the messages to each of the receivers bound to that particular key.

Abstract: An intelligent recording collects data associated with a user's viewing habit of live program contents and determines a viewing pattern by analyzing the collected data. The viewing pattern is used to identify a scheduled program content as a candidate for automatic recording, the identified scheduled program content having fallen within the determined viewing pattern.
