Follow up correction to EPG for recording systems to reset requests for recording

摘要

A method and device for determining whether an incorrect recording occurred on a recording device. Electronic Program Guide (EPG) information is used to select a program to be recorded. Corrected EPG data is sent after the recording and compared to the time, channel and length of recording to determine if an incorrect recording took place due to a change in scheduling. If so the recording device searches the EPG data for another showing of the program and if found records the next showing.
