Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for adaptive storage and scheduling of media assets. A user may request a media guidance application, which may be implemented at a set-top box of user equipment, to record or store a series of media assets relating to a participant of interest. The media guidance application may forwardly record a first set of scheduled media assets relating to a participant of interest of a user and backwardly download a second set of stored media assets relating to the participant of interest from a cloud storage server to a local storage unit at user equipment, and then download the stored media assets for watching.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for adaptive storage and scheduling of media assets. A user may request a media guidance application, which may be implemented at a set-top box of user equipment, to record or store a series of media assets, and then download the stored media assets for watching. The media guidance application may adaptively download media assets to local storage based on the viewing progress of the user of a downloaded media asset.

Abstract: Methods and systems for preventing a user input device from controlling the user equipment are described herein. The method includes receiving, over a first communication path, by a user equipment, data indicative of a first request to restrict control by the user input device over the user equipment. The method includes disregarding a first command from the user input device response to receiving the first request. The method includes receiving, over the first communication path, data indicative of a second request to restore control by the user input device over the user equipment. The method includes receiving a second command from the user input device, the second command intended to alter a second setting of the user equipment, in response to receiving the second request. The method includes altering the second setting of the user equipment in response to receiving the second request and the second command.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for detecting duplicate copies of a media asset and deleting or offloading one of the duplicate copies to different user devices. Specifically, a media guidance application, implemented at user equipment, may be used to record or store media assets from different media sources. The media guidance application may detect a duplicate copy of a previously stored media asset by comparing various attributes of the media asset. After detecting a duplicate copy of a media asset, the media guidance application may determine which of the duplicate copies of the same media asset is to be deleted, or to be transmitted for storage at a different user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for generating and providing a playlist of content relevant to a user that is to be played back instead of advertisement content. In some embodiments, a media guidance application may access a profile of a user, and may generate a playlist comprising a plurality of program content based on data of the profile. The media guidance application may determine that advertisement content is imminently to be played back to the user, and, in response to determining that the advertisement content is imminently to be played back to the user, the media guidance application may select program content of the playlist to play back instead of the advertisement content, and generate for display the program content.
