Abstract

See full text

A recording device may record a programming event by identifying timing data associated with the programming event within a closed caption data stream. The recording device may thereafter control recording of the programming event in accordance with the timing data. The control may involve initiating recording of the programming event. Related embodiments may pertain to devices implementing such processing. In alternative embodiments, a recording device may record a video programming event and a corresponding closed caption data stream, and thereafter control playback of the programming event in accordance with timing data included within the closed caption data stream. Such control may include skipping portions of the recorded video in accordance with the timing data.
