Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system, method and program product for identifying and downloading broadcast programming. Systems are disclosed that include a media device structured to receive and sample broadcast programming, and an identification service including an electronic library. The media device may include a receiver operable to receive the broadcast programming and media device information; a memory operable to save the received broadcast programming and media device information; a sampling device operable to replay and sample the received broadcast programming; and a transmitter operable to transmit the sampled broadcast programming and the media device information. The identification service may be structured to receive the sampled broadcast programming and the media device information, compare the sampled broadcast programming and the media device information with library information stored in the electronic library, and retrieve at least one of a matching broadcast programming and identification information about the broadcast programming.
