Secondary content insertion apparatus and methods

A computerized method of delivering digitally rendered content over a first network and a second network, the computerized method comprising:

• receiving, via a first network from a first computerized client device at a first location, data representative of a first request to store digitally rendered content;
• causing storage of the digitally rendered content for distribution to the first computerized client device at the first location;
• receiving, via a second network in data communication with the first network, data representative of a second request for access to the digitally rendered content from a second computerized client device, the second computerized client device disposed at a second location different from the first location;
• determining to authorize provision of the digitally rendered content to the second computerized client device based at least in part on the digitally rendered content having been previously stored for distribution to the first computerized client device at the first location;
• causing delivery of the digitally rendered content to the second computerized client device;
• selecting, based at least in part on the second location, second digital content for delivery or use with the digitally rendered content, wherein the selecting of the second digital content comprises selecting the second digital content from a plurality of pre-determined digitally rendered content based at least in part on previous activity of the first computerized client device at the first location.

Computer readable apparatus comprising a non-transitory storage medium, the non-transitory storage medium comprising at least one computer program having a plurality of instructions, the plurality of instructions configured to, when executed on a processing apparatus of a computerized network apparatus, cause the computerized network apparatus to:

• receive, from a first computerized device via a first network, data representative of a request for first digitally rendered content, the first digitally rendered content having been previously recorded by a second computerized device via a second network, the second network and the first network being separately managed networks yet in data communication with each other;
• based at least in part on the previous recordation by the second computerized device, determine that the first computerized device is authorized to access the first digitally rendered content;
• enable the first computerized device to access the first digitally rendered content via the first network;
• and
• select second digitally rendered content for delivery with the first digitally rendered content, the selection being based at least in part on a geographic location of the second computerized device, wherein the second digitally rendered content comprises a context-specific link relating to the first digitally rendered content, the context-specific link configured to provide, based at least on a selection by the subscriber, additional information relating to a topic of interest to the subscriber.
