Recorded content repair

1. A method, comprising:

detecting, by a television receiver during a primary recording of particular programming, degradation of a received signal quality associated with the particular programming to at or below a predetermined threshold value;

instantiating, by a television receiver in response to the detecting, a secondary recording of the particular programming during the primary recording when the particular programming is accessible over at least one terrestrial network;

querying, by the television receiver over the at least one terrestrial network, a computing system to acquire content associated with at least one gap in content within the primary recording present due to received signal quality;

outputting, by the television receiver for display by a presentation device during playback of the primary recording, a notification to enable access to the secondary recording instantiated by the television receiver when the at least one gap in content within the primary recording is unavailable over the at least one terrestrial network;

acquiring content associated with the at least one gap in content within the primary recording;

editing the primary recording to repair the at least one gap;

and editing the primary recording to include a message that when displayed provides an indication as to successful repair of the primary recording.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving content associated with the secondary recording via an over-the-air network.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving content associated with the secondary recording via a packet-based network.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving content associated with the secondary recording from a system other than the computing system over the at least one terrestrial network.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving content associated with the secondary recording from the computing system over the at least one terrestrial network.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising outputting for display by the presentation device the secondary recording in response to selection of the notification.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising editing the primary recording to include at least one advertisement selected based upon one or more characteristics of the particular programming.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising editing the primary recording to include at least one advertisement that when displayed provides an announcement of a product related to the particular programming and offered by an entity other than a satellite content provider associated with broadcast of the particular programming during the primary recording.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising editing the primary recording to include at least one advertisement that when displayed provides an announcement of a product related to the particular programming and offered by a satellite content provider associated with broadcast of the particular programming during the primary recording.

10. A television receiver, comprising: one or more processors; and

a memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processors and having stored therein processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

instantiating a secondary recording of particular programming during a primary recording of the particular programming when the particular programming is accessible over at least one terrestrial network during the primary recording and a received signal quality associated with the primary recording is at or below a predetermined threshold value;

querying, over the at least one terrestrial networks a computing system to acquire content associated with at least one gap in content within the primary recording present due to received signal quality; outputting, for display by a presentation device during playback of the primary recordings a notification to enable access to the secondary recording instantiated by the television receiver when the at least one gap in content within the primary recording is unavailable over the at least one terrestrial networks;

acquiring content associated with the at least one gap in content within the primary recording;

editing the primary recording to repair the at least one gap; and editing the primary recording to include a message that when displayed provides an indication as to successful repair of the primary recording.

11. The television receiver of claim 10 , wherein the operation further include:

detecting, during the primary recording, degradation of the received signal to at or below the predetermined threshold value.

12. The television receiver of claim 10 , wherein the operations further include:

detecting receipt of content associated with the secondary recording via one of an over-the-air network and a packet-based network.

13. The television receiver of claim 10 , wherein the operations further include:

detecting receipt of content associated with the secondary recording from one of the computing system and a system other than the computing system over the at least one terrestrial network.

14. The television receiver of claim 10 , wherein the operations further include:

editing the primary recording to include at least one advertisement that when displayed provides an announcement of a product related to the particular programming and offered by an entity other than a satellite content provider associated with broadcast of the particular programming during the primary recording.

15. The television receiver of claim 10 , wherein the operations further include:

editing the primary recording to include at least one advertisement that when displayed provides an announcement of a product related to the particular programming and offered by a satellite content provider associated with broadcast of the particular programming during the primary recording.

16. A method, comprising:

detecting, by a television receiver during a primary recording of particular programming, degradation of a received signal quality associated with the particular programming to at or below a predetermined threshold value;

instantiating, by a television receiver in response to the detecting, a secondary recording of the particular programming during the primary recording when the particular programming is accessible over a terrestria l network selected from an over-the-air network and a packet-based network;

querying, by the television receiver over the at least one terrestrial network, a computing system to acquire content associated with at least one gap in content within the primary recording present due to received signal quality;

receiving content associated with the secondary recording from one of the computing system and a system other than the computing system over the at least one terrestrial network;

outputting, by the television receiver for display by a presentation device during playback of the primary recording, a notification to enable access to the secondary recording instantiated by the television receiver during playback of the primary recording;

outputting for display by the presentation device the secondary recording in response to selection of the notification;

acquiring content associated with the at least one gap in content within the primary recording;

editing the primary recording to repair the at least one gap; and editing the primary recording to include a message that when displayed provides an indication as to successful repair of the primary recording.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

receiving content associated with the secondary recording from a system other than the computing system over the at least one terrestrial network.

18. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

editing the primary recording to include at least one advertisement selected based upon one or more characteristics of the particular programming.

19. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

editing the primary recording to include at least one advertisement that when displayed provides an announcement of a product related to the particular programming and offered by an entity other than a satellite content provider associated with broadcast of the particular programming during the primary recording.

20. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

editing the primary recording to include at least one advertisement that when displayed provides an announcement of a product related to the particular programming and offered by a satellite content provider associated with broadcast of the particular programming during the primary recording.
