The controller stores recommended content from the recommended recording list in the memory. In response to selecting the live content title corresponding to recommended content stored in the memory, a screen display query at the user device is generated for determining when an earlier position of the content is desired and displaying the content from the earlier position within the recommended content when the query is affirmative.
