Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for extending the hardware of a digital video recorder (DVR) that records and stores media assets for a user to watch at a later time. For example, a media guidance application may predict a future physical location at which a user is scheduled to be located for a duration of time. The media guidance application may then cause the future location to form a local cloud storage for the user during the time when the user is located at the future location. The local cloud may be used to store one or more media assets transferred from the user's DVR to the established local cloud using the local storage hardware at the future location.
