Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for recovering content in a multimedia device. Information pertaining content can be stored in a data store. If the recorded content is lost, damaged or deleted the information in the data store pertaining to the recorded content can be accessed, and at least one content source can be searched until program information matching the accessed information is found. Once the program information is found, a re-recording of the content can be scheduled at a determined time. The lost or damaged recorded content can be restored by saving the re¬ recorded content on the same or another multimedia device. The information in the data store can be updated to indicate recovery of the recorded content and to prevent duplicate re-recordings.
