Methods, systems, and media for determining channel information

1. A system for providing media guidance, the system comprising:

a media device including a hardware processor that:

transmits a request to a plurality of media devices connected to a network for device information;

receives one or more responses that includes the device information for one or more of the plurality of media devices connected to the network;

in response to receiving the one or more responses to the request, extracts, from the device information included in each of the one or more responses to the request, first location information associated with the media device;

determines, without user intervention, second location information of the media device based on the first location information associated with each of the one or more of the plurality of media devices that responded to the request; and

causes media guidance information based on the second location information associated with the media device to be presented.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor further determines whether the network corresponds to a home local area network and wherein the plurality of media devices and the media device are connected to the home local area network.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the device information includes device identification information for one or more of the plurality of media devices connected to the network and wherein the device identification information includes device type information and model information associated with each of the plurality of media devices.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor further:

transmits a query that includes at least a portion of the device information to a remote server that hosts a service provider database that includes service provider information; and

receives the service provider information responsive to the query.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the media guidance information includes a channel lineup corresponding to the service provider information and the second location information and wherein an electronic program guide that includes a plurality of media content listings organized by a plurality of allocated channel numbers that are derived from the channel lineup.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the media guidance information includes a media content recommendation that includes a channel number from determined channel information.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor further transmits device configuration information to the one or more of the plurality of media devices that includes at least a portion of the media guidance information.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor further selects the media device from the plurality of media devices to present the media guidance information.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second location information is an approximate location of the media device.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of media devices is a media playback device.

11. A method for providing media guidance, the method comprising:

transmitting, using a media device, a request to a plurality of media devices connected to a network for device information;

receiving one or more responses that includes the device information for one or more of the plurality of media devices connected to the network;

in response to receiving the one or more responses to the request, extracting, from the device information included in each of the one or more responses to the request, first location information associated with the media device;

determining, without user intervention, second location information of the media device based on the first location information associated with each of the one or more of the plurality of media devices that responded to the request; and

causing media guidance information based on the second location information associated with the media device to be presented.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises determining whether the network corresponds to a home local area network and wherein the plurality of media devices and the media device are connected to the home local area network.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the device information includes device identification information for one or more of the plurality of media devices connected to the network and wherein the device identification information includes device type information and model information associated with each of the plurality of media devices.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:

transmitting a query that includes at least a portion of the device information to a remote server that hosts a service provider database that includes service provider information; and

receiving the service provider information responsive to the query.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the media guidance information includes a channel lineup corresponding to the service provider information and the second location information and wherein an electronic program guide that includes a plurality of media content listings organized by a plurality of allocated channel numbers that are derived from the channel lineup.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the media guidance information includes a media content recommendation that includes a channel number from channel information.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises transmitting device configuration information to the one or more of the plurality of media devices that includes at least a portion of the media guidance information.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises selecting the media device from the plurality of media devices to present the media guidance information.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the second location information is an approximate location of the media device.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the plurality of media devices is a media playback device.

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for providing media guidance, the method comprising:

transmitting, using a media device, a request to a plurality of media devices connected to a network for device information;

receiving one or more responses that includes the device information for one or more of the plurality of media devices connected to the network;

in response to receiving the one or more responses to the request, extracting, from the device information included in each of the one or more responses to the request, first location information associated with the media device;

determining, without user intervention, second location information of the media device based on the first location information associated with each of the one or more of the plurality of media devices that responded to the request; and

causing media guidance information based on the second location information associated with the media device to be presented.
