Embodiment Construction

[0044] The amount of media available to users in any given media delivery system may be plentiful. Accordingly, many users desire a form of media guidance, an interface that enables users to efficiently navigate media selections and easily identify media they may want. Applications for providing such guidance may be referred to herein as interactive media guidance applications, or sometimes guidance applications.

[0045] Interactive media guidance applications can take various forms depending on the media for which they provide guidance. One typical type of media guidance application is an interactive television program guide. Interactive television program guides are well known guidance applications that, inter alia, enable a user to navigate and locate among television program viewing options and, in some systems, digital music selections. Television programming (and music programming) may be provided via conventional broadcast, cable, satellite, Internet or any other mea...

Abstract

The invention discloses an interactive media guidance system having multiple devices. When selecting a television program for recording, a user may configure the delivery of the selected television program and associated data and interactive applications to different user equipment devices in a home network, which may have different capabilities. Because the user equipment devices in the home network may have different capabilities, the user may wish to deliver different types and amount of content, different amounts of data, and different versions of interactive applications to the user equipment devices in the home network.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an invention patent application with the filing date of December 7, 2006, the application number of 200680053413.X, and the invention title of "interactive media guidance system with multiple devices". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to interactive media guidance systems, and more particularly to interactive media guidance systems having multiple devices. Background technique [0003] User equipment located in the home network can share content and program guide settings with other user equipment in the home network. For example, a user device located in a home network may be allowed to play a recorded television program stored on another user device in the home network. The ability of user devices in a home network to share content and data is discussed in great detail in US Patent Application No. 09 / 356,161, filed July 16, 1999, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0004]...
