<p>A method and a system for maintaining user privacy in a device (100) that continuously buffers video programming responsive to changes in a user selected video channel. Video programming can be continuously recorded on a storage medium (148) and presented on a display device. Recording can continue uninterrupted during and subsequent to a user change of the selected video channel. Responsive to a user input, at least a portion of the video programming that has been stored on the storage medium (148) can be deleted. The user input can be a single command input such as an actuation of a control key. The selected portion of the video programming that is deleted can be controlled by a pre-determined number of actuations of the control key. All of the video programming also can be deleted from the data storage medium. An interactive erase menu can provide menu selections for various erasing options.</p> |
