A method and system is described to control operation of a playback device. The method may include receiving a trigger signal generated automatically without human intervention by an external device, and performing a selected operation on digital content being played back when the trigger signal is received. The playback device may include a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) and the external trigger signal may be received from the external device that is separate from a handheld remote control associated with the playback device. In an example embodiment, the trigger signal is received directly from a telephony network, the trigger signal being an incoming call to a telephony device. In addition or instead, the trigger signal may be received indirectly from a telephony device via a television network.
