  • Patent number: 12184933
    Abstract: Systems and associated methods are described for providing recording of a blacked out media content item. A system receives a request from a first user device associated with a profile to record a media content item scheduled to broadcast on a second user device (different from the first user device) associated with the profile, at a second location. The system determines that the media content item is subject to a blackout during a blackout period within a blackout region. The system determines that the first user device and the second user device are associated with the same profile and that the first user device is at a first location outside the blackout region. The system then accesses the media content item for recording on the second user device during the blackout period. The system further transmits the recorded media content item to the first user device after expiry of the blackout period.

  • Publication number: 20220174345
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a notification for display on a device based on consumption history of a content item are disclosed herein. Control circuitry receives a request to store a content item of a series of sequentially ordered content items. The control circuitry determines whether the request is a new request for a user. Upon determining that the request is the new request, the control circuitry stores a predetermined number of content items of the series of sequentially ordered content items in a storage device. If a threshold amount of the predetermined number of content items has not been displayed on a device, then the control circuitry causes the notification to be displayed on the device.
