Abstract
A method for detecting the scheduled recording of a particular media content on multiple devices is described. In response to detecting that the particular media content is scheduled for recording on multiple devices, a notification may be provided to at least one of the multiple devices that the particular media content is scheduled for recording on the multiple devices. The particular media content may then be synchronously displayed on the multiple devices. A time may be selected by one of the devices to synchronously play the particular media content on the multiple devices based on a user availability calendar accessible through each of the devices. A time may also be suggested to receive a user confirmation for the suggested time.
