RECORDING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of recording transmitted data items comprising:
- receiving, at one or more inputs, a plurality of programmes and associated identifier (ID) data identifying the associated programme and an associated series to which the associated programme belongs;
receiving, at an input interface, input indicating whether one or more received programmes have been viewed or recorded by a user;
generating ranking values for ranking the series to which each of the received programmes belong based upon the received input; and
storing subsequently received programmes in a storage device based on the generated ranking values, the stored programmes belonging to the associated series for which a ranking value has been generated.

Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus and method for recording transmitted data items, and particularly television and radio programmes. The data items are received at one or more inputs along with ID data identifying the transmitted data items and the programme series to which the data item belongs. An input interface receives input indicating whether one or more received transmitted data items have been viewed or recorded by a user and a processor generates values for ranking the series to which each of the received data items belong based upon the received input. Subsequently received transmitted data items are stored in a storage device based on the generated values, the stored data items belonging to a series for which a value has been generated.
