Modifying playback of replacement content responsive to detection of remote control signals that control a device providing video to the playback device

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that upon execution by a processor, cause performance of a set of acts comprising:

• providing replacement media content for display;
• while a playback device is displaying the replacement media content, receiving, using a receiver of the playback device, an instruction that a remote control transmitted to a media device, wherein the media device provides media content to the playback device;
• determining a region within a display of the playback device at which the playback device is configured to provide an overlay corresponding to the instruction for display;
• and
• modifying presentation of the replacement media content such that the overlay is visible within the region while the playback device provides the replacement media content for display.

A computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions that are executable to cause the computing system to perform a set of acts comprising:
• providing replacement media content for display,
• while a playback device is displaying the replacement media content, receiving, using a receiver of the playback device, an instruction that a remote control transmitted to a media device, wherein the media device provides media content to the playback device,
• determining a region within a display of the playback device at which the playback device is configured to provide an overlay corresponding to the instruction for display, and
• modifying presentation of the replacement media content such that the overlay is visible while the playback device provides the replacement media content for display.
