Abstract
Recording of third party content on recording systems of a primary service provider is provided. Third party service providers may provide information about offered video content to a primary content service provider. The primary service provider may allow its customers/subscribers to access the third party content through the systems of the primary service provider. Upon navigation to a desired third party content item, a customer/subscriber may request a recording of the third party content. The third party content may be passed to the primary service provider for recording on one or more storage systems associated with the primary service provider, and the recorded content may subsequently be played back by the customer/subscriber in the same manner as play back of content recorded from the primary service provider.
