A method for recording multiple channels of television content, comprising: receiving at a content receiver, from a user, a request to record a first piece of content from a content delivery network, wherein the content delivery network delivers a plurality of pieces of content on a plurality of television channels that are organized into a plurality of television channel subsets, each subset of channels being simultaneously transmitted on a frequency band within a plurality of frequency bands; identifying a particular television channel associated with the first piece of content; identifying a particular band associated with the particular television channel; informing the user of other television channels associated with the particular band; receiving from the user a request to record a second piece of content associated with one of the other channels of the subset associated with the particular band, the particular television channel and the other television channels each being different television channels; receiving by said content receiver via a single tuner said particular frequency band, which contains a multiplexed signal carrying the subset of television channels to which said particular television channel and said other channel are associated, all the channels of the subset having been scrambled using the same control word (CW, 103); demultiplexing the received multiplexed signal by a demultiplexer of the content receiver to obtain a common entitlement control message (ECM, 104) included in the received multiplexed signal and the television channels included in the received multiplexed signal that are associated with the first and second pieces of content; decrypting said common entitlement control message to obtain said common control word (CW, 103); descrambling, by using said common control word (CW, 103), the television channels included in the received multiplexed signal that are associated with the first and second pieces of content; and concurrently recording the first piece of content and the second piece of content, which had been encoded with the same control word and have been received via a single tuner. receiving at a content receiver, from a user, a request to record a first piece of content from a content delivery network, wherein the content delivery network delivers a plurality of pieces of content on a plurality of television channels that are organized into a plurality of television channel subsets, each subset of channels being simultaneously transmitted on a frequency band within a plurality of frequency bands; identifying a particular television channel associated with the first piece of content; identifying a particular band associated with the particular television channel; informing the user of other television channels associated with the particular band; receiving from the user a request to record a second piece of content associated with one of the other channels of the subset associated with the particular band, the particular television channel and the other television channels each being different television channels; receiving by said content receiver via a single tuner said particular frequency band, which contains a multiplexed signal carrying the subset of television channels to which said particular television channel and said other channel are associated, all the channels of the subset having been scrambled using the same control word (CW, 103); demultiplexing the received multiplexed signal by a demultiplexer of the content receiver to obtain a common entitlement control message (ECM, 104) included in the received multiplexed signal and the television channels included in the received multiplexed signal that are associated with the first and second pieces of content; decrypting said common entitlement control message to obtain said common control word (CW, 103); descrambling, by using said common control word (CW, 103), the television channels included in the received multiplexed signal that are associated with the first and second pieces of content; and concurrently recording the first piece of content and the second piece of content, which had been encoded with the same control word and have been received via a single tuner.
