Methods and systems for recording and sharing digital video

A method, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processing system including a processor, an electronic signal broadcast from a television broadcasting system, wherein the electronic signal represents television content;
• processing, by the processing system, the electronic signal to provide a first media signal that is playable to present a forward-playback of the television content;
• storing the first media signal in a buffer storage of the processing system;
• receiving, at the processing system, a first instruction to begin recording the television content;
• responsive to receiving the first instruction, the processing system providing a second media signal that is playable to present a reverse-playback of the television content, and setting an end point for a recording of a portion of the television content that corresponds to the reverse playback;
• receiving, at the processing system, a second instruction to stop recording the television content;
• responsive to receiving the second instruction, the processing system setting a start point for recording the portion of the television content that corresponds to the reverse-playback;
• receiving, at the processing system, a third instruction to store the recording of the television content;
• and
• responsive to receiving the third instruction, the processing system storing the recording of the portion of the television content in a recorded content storage of the processing system, wherein the stored recording is defined at least in part by the start and end points, and wherein the stored recording is in a forward-playback order of corresponding television content;
• responsive to receiving the second instruction, the processing system setting the start point and continuing the reverse-playback of the television content;
• receiving, at the processing system, a fifth instruction to begin recording the television content;
• and
• responsive to receiving the fifth instruction, the processing system setting a second end point for a recording of a second portion of the television content that corresponds to continued reverse-playback.

A computing device comprising:

• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving an electronic signal broadcast from a television broadcasting system,
• wherein the electronic signal represents television content;
• processing the electronic signal to provide a first media signal that is playable to present a forward-playback of the television content;
• receiving a first instruction to begin recording the television content;
• responsive to receiving the first instruction, providing a second media signal that is playable to present a reverse-playback of the television content, and recording a portion of the television content that corresponds to the reverse-playback;
• receiving a second instruction to stop recording the television content;
• responsive to receiving the second instruction, stopping the recording of the television content;
• receiving a third instruction to save the recording of the television content;
• responsive to receiving the third instruction, storing a recording of portions of the television content;
• responsive to receiving the second instruction, stopping the recording of the television content and continuing the reverse-playback of the television content;
• receiving a fifth instruction to begin recording the television content;
• responsive to receiving the fifth instruction, recording a second portion of the television content that corresponds to continued reverse-playback;
• and
• providing an interface to edit the recording of the television content.
