Abstract
Various embodiments described herein provide techniques for prioritizing content reception by a DVR. A DVR identifies a resource conflict between a use of a television receiving resource to receive programming currently being watched by a user and a use of the television receiving resource for receiving television programming for subsequent playback. The DVR evaluates various criteria regarding one or both uses of the television receiving resource and identifies a higher priority of one of the uses of the television receiving resource. The DVR then assigns a use of the television receiving resource according to the identified priority.
