Abstract

A system (800), apparatus (700), and method are provided to select a best set of TV programs for reception and recording by at least one tuner, said TV programs being broadcast over a set of channels during a given time period [b, e] having a beginning time b and an ending time e. Partial and entire TV programs are considered and for each partial or entire TV program a user preference value is provided for its reception and recording. Further, pre-rolls and post-rolls are included in order to insure that partial TV programs are entirely received. A minimum-cost network algorithm is used that solves the selection and viewing problem but is not necessarily optimal. Additional time is allowed, before or after reception of a part of a TV program, to ensure that the entire part of the TV program has been received.
