Television tuner emulation techniques are described. In an implementation, a television tuner is emulated through execution of software on a processing system by a computing device, the emulated television tuner includes functionality to obtain television content over an Internet Protocol (IP) based network. The functionality of the emulated television tuner is exposed to one or more applications that are executed by the computing device such that the application is not aware that the television tuner is emulated through execution of the software.

Techniques that address content interruptions are described. In an implementation, an interruption is detected at the client device in receipt of a stream of content from a distribution system that is to be recorded locally in memory at the client device. A stream of content is generated at the client device and the generated stream of content is recorded to fill the interruption in the stream of content from the distribution system in the memory of the client device.

Techniques are described to provide event queuing and consumption. In an implementation, events received at an event router are queued after determining that a switch is to be performed from a first event consumer to a second event consumer. Events previously queued at the first event consumer are communicated to the second event consumer, and when completed, the events queued at the event router are communicated to the second event consumer.
