An interactive media guidance application implemented on mobile user equipment may utilize location-based services to retrieve program listings information based on a user's present location. The program listings may be retrieved in response to detecting a change in the user's location or detecting a change in the program listings information.

Systems and methods for using an interactive media guidance application on mobile user equipment

A wireless communications device provides users with opportunities to access interactive media guidance or other applications and to control interactive media guidance applications running on user equipment. The wireless communications device may have a touch-sensitive screen with controls that are coordinated with the features of the interactive media guidance or other applications. The wireless communications device may function as a remote controller for user equipment.

A system and method for using information codes for recording television programs. Information codes may be published in magazines, newspapers, and the like, much like VCR Plus+&#x2122; codes. When a user desires to record one or more television programs based on information codes, the user selects an appropriate command button on his or her input device, and enters the information code that identifies a desired filter category (e.g. an actor filter represented as '01') followed by a desired filter identifier (e.g. Richard Gere represented as '1234'). A processor receiving the user input searches an electronic program guide database for programs matching the filter information. The identified programs are then stored in a record memory for recording at an appropriate time. The identified programs may be further displayed for verification prior to storage in the record memory. Programs recommended to the viewers may also be identified via information codes.
