| 20080307464 | CHANNEL FILTER FOR A CONTENT PLAYER - A channel-selection filter. The channel-selection filter helps a user navigate to a desired channel. In particular, the channel-selection filter presents a filtered channel list to the user when the user issues one or more channel-filtering commands. The filtered channel list narrows a list of all available channels to those channels that correspond to the channel-filtering commands issued by the user. When presented with a filtered channel list, the user can select a channel from the filtered channel list. The user can also issue additional channel-filtering commands to further narrow the list of channels presented in the filtered channel list. | 12-11-2008 |

| 20090260038 | MERGING ELECTRONIC PROGRAM GUIDE INFORMATION - Techniques are disclosed herein for merging EPG data associated with a variety of program sources. In one aspect, EPG data is accessed for different program sources and rules are selected that define how entries in the EPG data are to be merged. The rules may be selected based on whether the EPG data was collected in-band or out-of-band. In addition, the merging rules can be dependent on the program source, which allows the flexibility of applying different rules to different program sources. The EPG data from the different program sources is merged into a single EPG based on the selected rules. | 10-15-2009 |

| 20080307485 | Automatic extension of recording using in-band and out-of-band data sources - Multiple data inputs, to a recording device, including out-of-band data, are used in order to dynamically adjust the start and end times for recordings. These data inputs may include published program schedules, electronic program guide data, real-time data feeds, in-band data markers, and real-time services. In advance of and during an event recording, the media recorder monitors real-time data and determines whether the event will start early, start late, end early, or run past the initial scheduled duration. The media recorder may seek out other scheduled recordings for potential conflicts. If no conflicts are found, the media recorder automatically extends or contracts the length of the recording. If conflicts are found, the media recorder attempts to resolve the conflicts based upon priority designations, heuristics, or additional user input to determine whether to alter the scheduled recording session, for example, by extending the duration of the recording period or switching the recording function to a another scheduled program. | 12-11-2008 |
