1-51. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving a user interface input to record a first media asset, wherein the first media asset depicts a competition event with potential participation by a competitor;
- in response to determining, that a second media asset depicting a previous competition event including the competitor was not viewed:
- generating for display a recording placeholder that indicates that the competition event may or may not have been recorded based on a result of the previous competition event;
- in response to subsequently determining, based on an updated viewing history, that the second media asset depicting the previous competition event was viewed:
- removing display of the recording placeholder from a user interface based on data indicating that the first media asset does include the competitor.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- input/output circuitry configured to:
- receive a user interface input to record a first media asset, wherein the first media asset depicts a competition event with potential participation by a competitor;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- determine, that a second media asset depicting a previous competition event including the competitor was not viewed;
- and
- wherein the input/output circuitry is further configured to, in response to the determining:
- generate for display a recording placeholder that indicates that the competition event may or may not have been recorded based on a result of the previous competition event;
- and
- wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
- subsequently determine, based on an updated viewing history, that the second media asset depicting the previous competition event was viewed;
- and
- wherein the input/output circuitry is further configured to, in response to the subsequent determining:
- remove display of the recording placeholder from a user interface based on data indicating that the first media asset does include the competitor.
