Abstract:
A network digital video recording (nDVR) system may take into account the capabilities of a requesting user's local DVR when managing network recordings. The user's local DVR may include a temporary buffer that is normally used to record what the DVR is tuned to, and may be used for local trickplay functionality such as pausing live television. The nDVR features described herein may track the usage of the user's temporary DVR buffer, and use that in determining what to stream in response to a user's playback request. The nDVR system can also determine if the user's local DVR has an unused tuner at a time of a program recording, and can instruct the user's local DVR to also tune to the program.

Claim (Index 21):
A method comprising:\n receiving, by a networked digital video recorder (nDVR) computing device remote from a digital video recorder (DVR), a request to record a future scheduled program; and performing, based on the request and an occurrence of a scheduled transmission time of the scheduled program:\n recording, by the nDVR computing device, the scheduled program, and \n instructing, based on a determination that the DVR has a tuner that is unused during transmission of the scheduled program, the DVR to tune the tuner of the DVR to the scheduled program while the scheduled program is being recorded by the nDVR computing device.
