1. A method for recording an advertised program that is advertised during a broadcast of a first program different from the advertised program, the method comprising:

  • receiving, during the broadcast of the first to a user, a request from the user to record a future broadcast of the advertised program, wherein the advertised program is advertised in an advertisement appearing in the broadcast of the first program, the first program being embodied in video data received from an external broadcasting source;

    in response to receiving the request from the user, locally storing a video segment of the first program that was broadcast to the user, the video segment including a preceding segment broadcast to the user immediately prior to receiving the request and the video segment having a predefined duration that is less than a duration of the first program;

    parsing the locally stored video segment to extract and identify at least one prescribed keyword;

    determining, based on the at least one prescribed word, the future broadcast of the advertised program to record;

    automatically establishing a recording session to record the future broadcast of the advertised program; and

    recording the advertised program during the established recording session.
