First Claim
1. A portable wireless device (PWD) for providing digital video recorder services, the PWD comprising:
- a non-transitory memory unit; and
a processing unit in communication with the memory unit and transceiver, wherein the processing unit executes instructions to;
receive an electronic program guide (EPG);
the EPG comprising a first data set of TV programming information;
store the first data set of TV programming information on the memory unit;
responsive to a first user input, display at least a portion of the first data set;
responsive to a second user input, record on the memory unit selected video content;
responsive to a third user input, play back the selected video content from the memory unit;
receive a recording schedule from a set-top box, the recording schedule indicating a program to be recorded;
receive a second data set of TV programming information, wherein the second set of TV programming information indicates that the program to be recorded according to the received recording schedule is not available to the PWD as scheduled;
compare the first data set with the second data set;
display an indication of a difference between the first data set and the second data set, the indication of the difference including at least some of the TV programming information, wherein the difference is related to a physical locality of the PWD, wherein a program schedule for mobile broadcast digital TV at the physical locality of the PWD is different from a program schedule at the set-top box;
adjust the recording schedule based on a fourth user input received after displaying the difference; and
record additional video content on the memory unit in accordance with the adjusted recording schedule.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing digital video recorder services with a portable wireless device (PWD). The PWD includes at least a transceiver, a processing unit and a memory unit. The transceiver receives a video content signal transmitted from a broadcaster of mobile broadcast digital TV, and an electronic program guide (EPG). The processing unit is in communication with the transceiver and the memory unit and the processing unit: stores the TV programming information on the memory unit; displays, responsive to a first user input, the TV programming information; records on the memory unit, responsive to a second user input, a selected video content signal received by the transceiver; and plays back the selected video content signal, responsive to a third user input, from the memory unit.
