• and
• receiving stored control description data by the wireless device to facilitate acquisition of internet content.

A server comprising:

• a processing circuit;
• and
• memory containing programming instructions that when executed by one or more processing circuits causes one or more processing circuits to:
• associate a code with at least both a desired server containing desired content and with control description data that defines at least when to start recording the desired content from the desired server;
