Abstract
A method, digital video recorder device and computer program product for recording program content. The digital video recorder (DVR) receives a selection of a television program or a television channel to record video content as well as the time period to record the video content in the selected television program or in the television program airing on the selected television channel from a user. Furthermore, the DVR receives keyword(s) to trigger the recording of the video content in the television program from the user. The DVR monitors the television program or the television channel for keyword(s) entered by the user in on-screen text, closed captioning text and/or program audio. In response to detecting one or more of these keyword(s) in the on-screen text, closed captioning text and/or program audio, the DVR records the video content in the television program for the selected period of time.
