Abstract: Systems and methods for efficiently determining that a media asset scheduled to be stored from one content source has been rescheduled to another content source. For example, by examining the contents of data packets received with a media asset which identify the media asset currently being received (e.g., a field in an event information table), a media guidance application executed on a set-top box or other user equipment device may determine in real-time that the media asset scheduled to be stored is not currently being transmitted from the originally-scheduled content source. In response to determining the media asset is not available from the originally-scheduled content source, the media guidance application may search through packets received from other content sources to determine a content source the media asset has been rescheduled to and store the media asset from that content source.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for recommending a display device for media consumption. The location and media content preference of the user is determined and used to recommend the location of a display device that is currently displaying content relevant to the user. For example, if a user walks into a restaurant and indicates that he wishes to watch one of the televisions, he is directed to a television at the far side of the room which is already playing the sports (e.g., basketball) game with his favorite team. This helps ensure that users are able to find and consume content that is meaningful to them in public spaces.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for determining temporally popular content for presentation on a common display. The location and media content preference of each user is determined and then aggregated across the plurality of users in the space to determine the media content that fits the plurality of users. For example, if a significant number of the users in the restaurant have a preference for watching a news station (e.g., CNN), one of the televisions in the restaurant one adapt accordingly. This helps ensure that users are able to find and watch content that is meaningful to them in public spaces.
