Abstract

Methods, devices, and products are disclosed for recording media. An input is received via a user interface to record media. An entry is created in a recording schedule to record the media. The recording schedule is sent to a restoration server, such that the recording schedule is mirrored to the restoration server.

Claims

1. A computer program product comprising computer executable instructions tangibly embodied in memory, the computer executable instructions cause a computer to execute a method, comprising:

receiving, by a server, a recording schedule identifying media to be recorded by a user device and the server;

wherein the recording schedule causes the server to schedule the media for recording, the recording schedule being a first communication to the server;

receiving, by the server, a notification causing the server to record the media corresponding to the user device recording the media, the notification being a second communication to the server;

wherein the recording schedule and the notification are distinct communications; and

in response to receiving the notification, concurrently recording, by the server, the media with the user device;

wherein the notification corresponds to a recording mode invoked on the user device.

2. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the notification is configured to indicate to the server when the media is being recorded on the user device.

3. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the media is recorded from a media server.
