Abstract
Techniques that address content interruptions are described. In an implementation, an interruption is detected at the client device in receipt of a stream of content from a distribution system that is to be recorded locally in memory at the client device. A stream of content is generated at the client device and the generated stream of content is recorded to fill the interruption in the stream of content from the distribution system in the memory of the client device.

-
identify an error condition that exists with respect to reception of a stream of content from a distribution system at the client device; select from content that is stored locally at the client device that corresponds to the identified error condition; and stream the selected content in place of the stream of content from the distribution system until the error condition is resolved. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
