Abstract

A recording device that utilizes a determining device to make a determination whether a user is available to review user selected content at a scheduled time. First, the user makes a selection of content that the user wishes the recording device to record. The recording device then queries a database, such as an electronic programming guide (EPG) to determine the scheduled time of the user-selected content. The recording device then queries the determining device, such as a calendar device. In the event that the recording device determines that the user is unavailable at the scheduled time of the selected content, the recording device records the selected content.
