Abstract:
1. A method for using an interactive media guide system by communicating data over an Internet communications path, the method comprising: receiving, with a first user equipment device, a user input from a user selecting a video identifier from a first plurality of video identifiers being displayed by a first interactive media guide on a first electronic display device for scheduling a recording, the first interactive media guide being implemented on the first user equipment device, the first electronic display device and the first user equipment device being located at a same first location associated with the user, wherein the first plurality of video identifiers are generated for display on the first electronic display device by control circuitry of the first user equipment device, the same first location being remote from a user's home; in response to receiving the user input selecting the video identifier, communicating an indication associated with the video identifier selected by the user, from the first user equipment device over the Internet communications path, for receipt by a second user equipment device; receiving by a second interactive media guide implemented on the second user equipment device, data corresponding to the indication communicated over the Internet communication path; in response to receiving the data corresponding to the indication communicated over the Internet communication path, the second interactive media guide identifies and selects the video identifier as one of a second plurality of video identifiers for inclusion in an interactive media guide display for display on a second electronic display device, the second electronic display device being coupled to the second user equipment device; after identifying and selecting the video identifier as one of the second plurality of video identifiers, generating for display by the second electronic display device, by control circuitry of the second user equipment device, the interactive media guide display; and tuning to and recording, by the second user equipment device, video content associated with the selected video identifier, based on the data corresponding to the indication received over the Internet communications path, wherein:
