Abstract
In an implementation of recording resources indicators, recording resources can each be allocated to a different program that is scheduled to be recorded. A program guide application generates a program guide in which programs are associated with a program broadcast schedule that includes a time when each of the programs are scheduled for broadcast. A resource scheduler generates a recording resources indication for display within the program guide to indicate that the recording resources are fully-allocated for a time duration during which one or more of the programs are scheduled to be recorded.
