A method for remotely accessing user equipment implementing an interactive media guidance application from a mobile user device having location positioning functionality, the method comprising: receiving an action request for a program from the mobile user device , wherein the mobile user device utilizes first-location program information to generate the action request for the program, and the first-location program information is based on a user's current location; transmitting the action request for the program to the user equipment , wherein the user equipment utilizes second-location program information to schedule the action request for the program, the second-location program information is based on a location of the user equipment , and the location of the user equipment is different from the user's current location; scheduling the requested action based on the first-location information; receiving, from the user equipment , an acknowledgement , wherein the acknowledgment comprises the second-location program information for the program and wherein the second-location program information comprises a title for the program corresponding to the second-location program information; detecting a disparity between the first-location program information for the program and the second-location program information for the program by comparing the title for the program corresponding to the second-location program information with a title of the program corresponding to the first-location program information; in response to detecting the disparity, searching for alternate scheduling information for the program; and transmitting the alternate scheduling information to the user equipment for scheduling the action request for the program to be performed by the user equipment, wherein the alternate scheduling information comprises instructions to delete the scheduled action request for the program. receiving an action request for a program from the mobile user device , wherein the mobile user device utilizes first-location program information to generate the action request for the program, and the first-location program information is based on a user's current location; transmitting the action request for the program to the user equipment , wherein the user equipment utilizes second-location program information to schedule the action request for the program, the second-location program information is based on a location of the user equipment , and the location of the user equipment is different from the user's current location; scheduling the requested action based on the first-location information; receiving, from the user equipment , an acknowledgement , wherein the acknowledgment comprises the second-location program information for the program and wherein the second-location program information comprises a title for the program corresponding to the second-location program information; detecting a disparity between the first-location program information for the program and the second-location program information for the program by comparing the title for the program corresponding to the second-location program information with a title of the program corresponding to the first-location program information; in response to detecting the disparity, searching for alternate scheduling information for the program; and transmitting the alternate scheduling information to the user equipment for scheduling the action request for the program to be performed by the user equipment, wherein the alternate scheduling information comprises instructions to delete the scheduled action request for the program. <EOS>
