Abstract:
Systems and methods for recording programs using a user's equipment and a network recording device are provided. An interactive television application may determine whether the user's equipment has sufficient resources (e.g., tuners or space) to record a program selected for recording. If the interactive television application determines that the user's equipment does not have sufficient resources, the interactive television application may select, automatically or in response to a user instruction, the program for recording with a network recording device. In some embodiments, the user may have to pay for the use of the network recording device, or may be required to purchase a given tier level of service. The interactive television application may play back programs from the network recording device as VOD offerings, or may direct the network recording device to transfer recorded programs to the user's equipment when it has sufficient resources.

Claim (Index 27):
A method for recording a media asset, the method comprising:\n receiving a request to record a media asset; determining that recording the media asset on a user equipment device will exceed resources of the user equipment device; in response to the determining that recording the media asset will exceed the resources of the user equipment device, identifying resources that are allocated to the user for recordings at a network recording device; determining that insufficient resources are allocated to the user for recording the media asset at the network recording device; in response to the determining that the insufficient resources are allocated to the user, providing a prompt for the user to request access to additional resources for recordings at the network recording device; receiving a user response to the prompt; allocating additional resources to the user based on the user response; and directing the network recording device to record the media asset using the additional resources.
