First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving program guide data for linear channels at a user device;
receiving future available content data at the user device;
storing the program guide data in the user device;
storing the future available content data in a memory of the user device;
forming a future content selection;
storing the future content selection in a queue until a predetermined time;
after the predetermined time, communicating a material identification to a content processing system; and
communicating the content corresponding to the material identification to the user device.

Abstract
A system and method for preordering content includes a content processing system and a user device in communication with the content processing system. The content processing system receives program guide data for linear channels and receives future available content data at the user device. The future available content data comprises an availability window having an availability start time and an availability end time. The user device stores the program guide data in the user device storing the future available content data in a memory of the user device, forms a future content selection, and stores the future content selection in a queue until the availability window is reached. When within the availability window, the user device communicates a material identification to the content processing system. The content processing system communicates the content corresponding to the material identification to the user device.
