RECORDED CONTENT REPAIR
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a television receiver during a primary recording of particular programming, degradation of a received signal quality associated with the particular programming to at or below a predetermined threshold value;
instantiating, by a television receiver in response to the detecting, a secondary recording of the particular programming during the primary recording when the particular programming is accessible over at least one terrestrial network;
querying, by the television receiver over the at least one terrestrial network, a computing system to acquire content associated with at least one gap in content within the primary recording present due to received signal quality; and
outputting, by the television receiver for display by a presentation device during playback of the primary recording, a notification to enable access to the secondary recording when content associated with the at least one gap in content within the primary recording is unavailable over the at least one terrestrial network.

Abstract
A television receiver may detect during a primary recording of particular programming degradation of a received signal quality associated with the particular programming to at or below a predetermined threshold value. The television receiver may instantiate a secondary recording of the particular programming during the primary recording when the particular programming is accessible over at least one terrestrial network. The television receiver may query a computing system to acquire content associated with at least one gap in content within the primary recording present due to received signal quality. The television receiver may output during playback of the primary recording a notification to enable access to the secondary recording when content associated with the at least one gap in content within the primary recording is unavailable over the at least one terrestrial network.

12. A television receiver, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processors and having stored therein processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; instantiate a secondary recording of particular programming during a primary recording of the particular programming when the particular programming is accessible over at least one terrestrial network during the primary recording and a received signal quality associated with the primary recording is at or below a predetermined threshold value; query over the at least one terrestrial network a computing system to acquire content associated with at least one gap in content within the primary recording present due to received signal quality; and output for display by a presentation device during playback of the primary recording a notification to enable access to the secondary recording when content associated with the at least one gap in content within the primary recording is unavailable over the at least one terrestrial network. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method, comprising:
-
detecting, by a television receiver during a primary recording of particular programming, degradation of a received signal quality associated with the particular programming to at or below a predetermined threshold value; instantiating, by a television receiver in response to the detecting, a secondary recording of the particular programming during the primary recording when the particular programming is accessible over at a terrestrial network selected from an over-the-air network and a packet-based network; querying, by the television receiver over the at least one terrestrial network, a computing system to acquire content associated with at least one gap in content within the primary recording present due to received signal quality; receiving content associated with the secondary recording from one of the computing system and a system other than the computing system over the at least one terrestrial network; outputting, by the television receiver for display by a presentation device during playback of the primary recording, a notification to enable access to the secondary recording during playback of the primary recording; and outputting for display by the presentation device the secondary recording in response to selection of the notification.
