Claim:
1. A method for updating media settings using an interactive media guidance application implemented on mobile user equipment, the method comprising: determining, using processing circuitry of the mobile user equipment, that the mobile user equipment is in a first location; retrieving first media information corresponding to the first location; receiving a user request to set a function associated with a media program scheduled to be broadcast at a future time, wherein the first media information specifies a first source of the media program at the first location; storing data representing the user request on the mobile user equipment, wherein the data representing the user request includes an indication of the first source; after receiving the user request to set the function, determining, using the processing circuitry, that the mobile user equipment has moved from the first location to a second location, wherein the second location is associated with second media information that differs from the first media information; and in response to determining that the mobile user equipment has moved from the first location to a second location: automatically retrieving the second media information corresponding to the second location; automatically retrieving, from the mobile user equipment, media information associated with the first source based on the stored data representing the user request; automatically comparing the retrieved media information, associated with the first source, with each of a plurality of subsets of the second media information, each of the subsets corresponding to a different one of a plurality of sources; automatically identifying, based on the comparing, a second source of the plurality of sources for which the corresponding subset of the second media information matches the retrieved media information associated with the first source; automatically determining, based on the identifying, that the media program is scheduled to be broadcast by the second source at the second location; and automatically modifying the stored data to include an indication of the second source instead of the indication of the first source.
