Systems and methods for determining subscription data

A method of using a remote media guidance application implemented on remote user equipment, the method comprising:

• establishing a communications path between the remote media guidance application and a source device, wherein the source device stores package data associated with a target user equipment wherein the target user equipment is different than the remote user equipment;
• receiving package data from the source device at the remote media guidance application;
• generating, with the remote media guidance application, channel data based on the package data received from the source device by transmitting, with the remote media guidance application, a communication to the target user equipment instructing the target user equipment to tune to one or more channels associated with the package data and determining whether a user may use the target user equipment to access each of the one or more channels;
• and
• generating subscription data using the channel data and the package data, wherein the subscription data indicates which packages of programming and premium services the target user equipment is authorized to allow the user to view.

A system for using a remote media guidance application implemented on remote user equipment, comprising:

• target user equipment that provides packages of television programming to users;
• and
• a remote device comprising circuitry on which the remote media guidance application is implemented, wherein the remote media guidance application is configured to:
• establish a communications path with the target user equipment;
• request subscription data indicating television programming a user is authorized to access from the target user equipment;
• wherein the remote media guidance instructs the target user equipment to:
• tune to one or more channels associated with the packages of television programming;
• determine whether the target user equipment allows the one or more channels to be viewed by the user;
• and
• generate the subscription data;
• receive the subscription data from the target user equipment;
• and
• utilize the subscription data to determine whether the target user equipment is authorized to receive a particular package of television programming from a remote server and display programming from the particular package of television programming to the user.

A system for using a remote media guidance application implemented on a remote device, comprising:

• target user equipment that provides packages of television programming and premium services to users;
• a source device that can be accessed via the internet and stores package data associated with the target user equipment;
• and
• the remote device, different from the target user equipment, comprising circuitry from which the remote media guidance application is accessible, wherein the remote media guidance application is configured to:
• establish a communications path with the source device;
• receive the package data from the source device;
• generate channel data based on the received package data by transmitting, with the remote media guidance application, a communication to the target user equipment instructing the target user equipment to tune to one or more channels associated with the package data and determining whether a user of the target user equipment can access each of the one or more channels associated with the package data;
• and
• generate subscription data using the channel data and the package data, wherein the subscription data indicates what packages of television programming and premium services the target user equipment is authorized to allow the user to view.
