Abstract
A network node in a network personal video recorder (NPVR) system receives a request from a user to record a program asset provided on a channel and responsive to a count of enhancement recordings of the channel being equal to zero, starts a plurality of enhancement layer encode captures from the broadcast feed of the channel into an enhancement warehouse. The network node also starts a base layer encode capture of a broadcast feed of the channel into an NPVR warehouse associated with the user and increments the count of enhancement recordings of the channel by one.
