Embodiment Construction

[0039]The invention is generally directed to recording information broadcast on at least one channel. Such a broadcast is in a preferred embodiment of the invention a television program broadcast on a television channel, which may be a conventional over-the-air channel as well as a satellite or cable TV channel or an Internet TV channel. However, the broadcasted channel may also be a different type of radio channel, such as a network radio channel or a radio channel sent over the air, satellite or cable. Broadcast information can thus be programs, television or radio broadcasts as well as individual program segments such as video or music segments. The preferred embodiment of the invention is therefore a video tape recorder (VCR). However, the invention can also be used in a consumer Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) recorder or hard disk recorder or other type of recorder for recording sound only.

Abstract

The invention concerns a method and device for recording information broadcast over a channel. A receiver (14) receives the information, a recorder (16) records said information, a program timer (18) is programmed with program settings including channel and time settings including start time, and a control unit (22) reads the program settings, makes the receiver tune to the set channel based on said start time if not already tuned thereto, and sets the recorder to start or end recording of the information at a time determined at least partly by other factors than the time settings. The information is preferably a television program and the device preferably a VCR or DVD recorder. The invention provides guaranteed recording of programs even though start or end times programmed into a program timer differs from actual start or end times of the program or tuning to the channel is delayed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is directed to securing the recording of information, such as the recording of television programs broadcast on different channels. More specifically, the invention is directed to methods and devices for recording information broadcast on at least one channel. Background of the invention [0002] Recently, various tools have been developed to assist in recording television programs, for example using a VCR (Video Tape Recorder) or DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) recorder. One such tool is an Electronic Program Guide (EPG), which displays the start and end times of different channel programs. A program to be recorded can then be programmed to be recorded by simply selecting a program within the guide. The selected program start and end times and channel information are then automatically entered into the program timer of the recording device when the selection is confirmed. [0003] Another current tool is VPS / PDC (Video Programmin...
