摘要

A system (100) for recording media content on different recording devices (112) includes a metadata insertion device (104) configured to annotate advertisement content with metadata, where the advertisement content references a media content, and where the metadata is configured to enable recording of the media content on the different recording devices (112). The system also includes a program finder server (118) configured to determine the next broadcast of the media content available to the different recording devices (112) and a recording server (116) configured to access information pertaining to the different recording devices and configured to schedule a recording of the media content on one or more of the recording devices (112) based upon data and protocols required by the one or more recording devices.
