Systems and methods for displaying media content and media guidance information
First Claim
1. A method for displaying media guidance information, the method comprising:
- receiving media guidance information with a first portable electronic device;
establishing a communication link between the first portable electronic device and control circuitry coupled with a display;
transmitting at least some of the media guidance information from the first portable electronic device to the control circuitry via the communication link, wherein the media guidance information received by the control circuitry from the first portable electronic device is simultaneously displayed, with the display coupled to the control circuitry, with media content or media guidance information received by the control circuitry from a source other than the first portable electronic device; and
receiving an indication with the first portable electronic device that the media guidance information displayed on the display coupled to the control circuitry has been manipulated.

Abstract
A system comprises television equipment and a number of portable electronic devices. The television equipment includes a large display and control circuitry. The control circuitry receives media content and media guidance data for display on the display. The control circuitry also includes communication components for communicating with the portable electronic devices. The portable electronic devices are operable for displaying video and communicating with the television equipment. A method comprises the steps of receiving media guidance information with a first portable electronic device; transmitting at least some of the media guidance information from the first portable electronic device to the control circuitry of the television equipment; and displaying the media guidance information from the first portable electronic device on the display of the television equipment while simultaneously displaying media content or media guidance information received from a source other than the first portable electronic device.
