Abstract
A content recording system receives signals broadcast from one or more satellites and/or one or more land-based transmitters. The received content is initially recorded on a rolling recording medium. Upon actuation of a “BUY” button or switch information pertaining to the selected content is displayed. Upon a second actuation of a “BUY” button or switch the selected content is transferred from the rolling recording medium to a permanent recording medium. The system automatically compensates owners of copyrights in the selected content upon permanent recording thereof.
