Abstract
A multimedia content provider network includes a customer premises equipment (CPE) and a mobile device connected to a provider network. The CPE receives and stores multimedia content from the provider network. The mobile device provides a unique identifier to the CPE for authentication purposes. Responsive to the CPE verifying that the unique identifier is pre-designated as authorized, the CPE provides data representative of a GUI for display at the mobile device, the GUI including a listing of multimedia content recorded at the CPE. A user of the mobile device then can request a particular recorded multimedia content. In response to the request, the CPE encodes the multimedia content and transmits the encoded multimedia content to the mobile device for processing and display at the mobile device.
