1. A computer device comprising:

at least one computer memory that is not a transitory signal and that comprises instructions executable by at least one processor for:

during playback of recorded audio video (AV) content on a display device, in which a signal to pause playback is generated, responsive to the signal to pause playback, determining a location in the recorded AV content at which playback was paused;

responsive to a determinination that playback was paused at a first location in the recorded AV content, causing first ancillary AV content to be presented on the display device;

responsive to a determination that playback was paused at a second location in the recorded AV content, causing second ancillary AV content to be presented on the display device, the first ancillary content not being from the same content stream as the second ancillary content.

2. The computer device of claim 1 , wherein the computer device is the display device, and the instructions are executable for:

receiving the signal to pause playback; and

responsive to the signal to pause playback, pausing playback of the recorded AV.

3. The computer device of claim 1 , wherein the computer device is not the display device.

4. The computer device of claim 1 , comprising the at least one processor.

5. The computer device of claim 1 wherein the instructions are executable for:

responsive to the signal to pause playback, causing first ancillary AV content to be presented on the display device responsive to a determination of first prior user operation of the display device;

responsive to the signal to pause playback, causing second ancillary AV content to be presented on the display device responsive to a determination of second prior user operation of the display device.

6. The computer device of claim 1 . wherein the instructions are executable for:

responsive to the signal to pause playback, causing first ancillary AV content to be presented on the display device responsive to accessing first user demographics responsive to the signal to pause playback:,

responsive to the signal to pause playback, causing second ancillary AV content to be presented on the display device responsive to accessing second user demographics responsive to the signal to pause playback.

7. The computer device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable for:

responsive to a signal to pause during presentation of the ancillary AV content, causing the ancillary AV content not to be presented on the display device.

8. The computer device of claim 7 , wherein the signal to pause during presentation of the ancillary AV content is a play command, and the instructions are executable for causing playback of the recorded AV content to be resumed on the display device.

9. Method comprising:

presenting recorded content on a display device;

pausing playback of the recorded content; and

responsive to the pausing, automatically presenting ancillary AV content on the display device until such time as a predetermined subsequent command is received, wherein the presenting comprises:

responsive to the command to pause playback, causing first ancillary AV content to be presented on the display device responsive to a determination that a first prior user operation of the display device is of a first type, the first prior user operation not being the command to pause playback;

responsive to the command to pause playback, causing second ancillary AV content to be presented on the display device responsive to a determination that a second prior user operation of the display device is of a second type different than the first type, the second prior user operation being a different operation than the first prior user operation and also being different than the command to pause playback.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein predetermined subsequent command is a play command.

11. The method of claim 9 , responsive to the command to pause playback, pausing playback of the recorded AV.

12. The method of claim 9 , comprising:

determining a location in the recorded AV content at which playback was paused;

responsive to a determination that playback was paused at a first location in the recorded AV content, causing first ancillary AV content to be presented on the display device;

responsive to a determination that playback was paused at a second location in the recorded AV content, causing second ancillary AV content to be presented on the display device.

13. The method of claim 9 , comprising:

responsive to he command to pause playback, causing first ancillary AV content to be presented on the d splay device responsive to a determination of first user demographics;

responsive to the command to pause playback, causing second ancillary AV content to be presented on the display device responsive to a determination of second user demographics.

14. The method of claim 9 , comprising:

responsive to a signal to pause during presentation of the ancillary AV content, causing the ancillary AV content not to be presented on the display device.
