Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for automatically replaying a portion of a media asset to a first user when a second user delivers an alert to the first user, and the alert is indicative of an event shown in the portion of the media asset, which occurred while attention of the first user was diverted away from the media asset. For example, a first user may divert his or her attention away from a media asset and may miss a portion of the media asset that he or she may be interested in. A second user may tell the first user that the first user has missed out an event the first user may be interested in. A media guidance application may capture the alert, based on which a portion that matches the alert is found and may be played back to the first user.
