Abstract: Various arrangements for providing bimodal digital video recording are presented. A plurality of over-the-air (OTA) television programs received via an antenna input port may be recorded to a local processor-readable storage medium. Record instructions may be transmitted to a cloud-based television programming service provider server system to remotely record and store scheduled streaming television programs to storage of the cloud-based television programming service provider server system. OTA television programs received via the antenna input port and recorded to the local processor-readable storage medium may be determined. Indications of television programs stored by the cloud-based television programming service provider server system may be received. Data may be output to a display device to present the bimodal DVR interface having a unified interface that simultaneously comprises indications of the recorded OTA television programs and indications of the scheduled streaming television programming.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing customized television programming through temporary subscriptions. According to certain embodiments, a television delivery service system is configured to allow a subscriber to gain access to one or more channels not available under a first subscription package by granting a temporary subscription to a second subscription package. At the end of the temporary subscription, the subscriber's access is returned to the first subscription package. This allows a subscriber to gain access to additional channels not available under the subscriber's current subscription program without having to upgrade to a new subscription plan altogether.
