Abstract
Disclosed embodiments help prevent recording duplicate instances of multimedia programs on digital video recorders (DVRs). In response to a request to schedule the broadcast and recording of a multimedia event, a network-based scheduler pings a DVR to determine whether a duplicate instance of the requested multimedia program is stored on the DVR. In some cases, metadata associated with recorded programs on the DVR is analyzed and compared to metadata associated with the requested multimedia event. If an exact match, or a match that meets a threshold value, is determined by comparing the metadata, the scheduler may notify the user of the potential for storing the duplicate instance of the multimedia program. In some embodiments, the scheduler processes user requests to override the prevention of recording duplicates.
