Method and systems for enhancing media viewing experiences on multiple devices

A method for enhancing a media viewing experience of a user, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a user input device, at a first time, a first selection of a media asset for display on a first display device associated with a first user equipment device, wherein the media asset is associated with a real-life sports contest;
• in response to receiving the first selection, generating for display, at the first user equipment device, the media asset on the first display device;
• detecting, at a second time, an action preventing a viewing of the media asset;
• in response to detecting the action:
• retrieving data associated with a portion of the media asset within a time window following the second time;
• identifying, based on the data associated with the portion of the media asset, a real-life sport player in the real-life sports contest corresponding to the portion;
• retrieving, based on a profile of the user, data associated with a roster for a fantasy sports contest to which the user participates;
• comparing the real-life sports player to players on the roster of the user to determine whether the real-life sports player matches a player on the roster of the user;
• determining that the portion of the media asset includes important content in response to determining that the real-life sports player matches a player on the roster;
• in response to determining that the portion of the media asset generated for display on the first display device includes important content:
• selecting, from a database comprising a plurality of user equipment devices, a second user equipment device associated with the user;
• transmitting, to the second user equipment device, data notifying the user about the important content.

A system for enhancing a media viewing experience of a user, the system comprising control circuitry configured to:

• receive, from a user input device, at a first time, a first selection of a media asset for display on a first display device associated with a first user equipment device, wherein the media asset is associated with a real-life sports contest;
• in response to receiving the first selection, generate for display, at the first user equipment device, the media asset on the first display device;
• detect, at a second time, an action preventing a viewing of the media asset;

• determine that the portion of the media asset includes important content in response to determining that the real-life sports player matches a player on the roster;
• in response to determining that the portion of the media asset generated for display on the first display device includes important content:
• select, from a database comprising a plurality of user equipment devices, a second user equipment device associated with the user;
• transmit, to the second user equipment device, data notifying the user about the important content.
