Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to technologies for providing uninterrupted playback of a content recording on a set top box during head end failures. The set top box detects a head end failure. An unavailability mode is entered during the detected head end failure. A head end recovery is detected. The unavailability mode is exited. A content unavailability skipper associated with the recorded content is updated. The content unavailability skipper includes instructions for playback of the recorded content.
