Abstract

See full text

A computer receives broadcast content through a receiver and receives a request from a user to record a segment of broadcast content. The computer determines whether metadata associated with the segment of broadcast content includes a location from which the segment can be retrieved at a subsequent time. Responsive to determining that the metadata includes the location from which the segment can be retrieved, the computer records a first portion of the segment of broadcast content, the computer storing the first portion of the segment of broadcast content in a database. Responsive to a request to play the segment of broadcast content, the computer retrieves the first portion of the segment of broadcast content from the database and plays the first portion of the segment of broadcast content. The computer retrieves a remaining portion of the segment of broadcast content not previously recorded through a network connection.
