Abstract

Systems and methods present to a user a single option when multiple sources (such as recording, on-demand, live airing, etc.) of a video asset exist in aggregated universal program information. The systems and methods compare metadata from asset variants along with user profile data to identify which option will provide the best user experience for the selected video asset. The systems and methods simplify the user experience to avoid forcing the user to choose between multiple options.
