Abstract
A method and system for displaying identifiers for one or more series of recordable events is described. A system, such as the system of a digital video recorder, may receive a set of recordable events data, such as a listing of all television shows to be broadcast over a two-week period. The system analyzes the set of recordable events data for determining one or more sets of recordable events, where each set includes recordable events having the same title. The system analyzes each set of recordable events to determine sub-sets of recordable events based on relationships between the recordable events of each sub-set. The system displays an identifier for each sub-set of a given set of recordable events when the given set of recordable events is selected for display. A user may select to record a sub-set of recordable events by selecting the identifier that represents the sub-set.

21. A method comprising:
-
determining, using a computer-readable processor, a set of recordable events comprising a plurality of recordable events, wherein each recordable event of the set of recordable events is associated with a first recordable event descriptor; determining, using the computer-readable processor, a first subset of recordable events and a second subset of recordable events within the set of recordable events, wherein each recordable event of the first subset is associated with a second recordable event descriptor but not a third recordable event descriptor, and wherein each recordable event of the second subset is associated with the third recordable event descriptor but not the second recordable event descriptor; providing for, using the computer-readable processor, a display device displaying an identifier of the first subset of recordable events and an identifier of the second subset of recordable events. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable program instructions executable by a computer-readable processor to perform operations comprising:
-
determining, using the computer-readable processor, a set of recordable events comprising a plurality of recordable events, wherein each recordable event of the set of recordable events is associated with a first recordable event descriptor; determining, using the computer-readable processor, a first subset of recordable events and a second subset of recordable events within the set of recordable events, wherein each recordable event of the first subset is associated with a second recordable event descriptor but not a third recordable event descriptor, and wherein each recordable event of the second subset is associated with the third recordable event descriptor but not the second recordable event descriptor; providing for, using the computer-readable processor, a display device displaying an identifier of the first subset of recordable events and an identifier of the second subset of recordable events.

33. A system comprising:
-
a computer-readable processor; a non-transitory computer-readable data storage device storing program instructions executable by the processor, wherein the program instructions are executable to cause the processor to determine a set of recordable events comprising a plurality of recordable events, wherein each recordable event of the set of recordable events is associated with a first recordable event descriptor, wherein the program instructions are executable to cause the processor to determine a first subset of recordable events and a second subset of recordable events within the set of recordable events, wherein each recordable event of the first subset is associated with a second recordable event descriptor but not a third recordable event descriptor, and wherein each recordable event of the second subset is associated with the third recordable event descriptor but not the second recordable event descriptor, and a user interface configured to provide data for displaying an identifier of the first subset of recordable events and an identifier of the second subset of recordable events. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
