Systems and methods for identifying, assembling, and publishing content are described. A video content item, having a first time length, is identified by a system to be included in a program scheduled for a first time period. The video may be hosted on a third party system. A first time span within the first program is allocated for the video, wherein the first time span is longer than the first time length. The system determines, prior to or at the first time period, a time difference between a current length of the video and the first time span. At least partly in response to determining that the video has a time length shorter than the first time span, the system selects supplemental content based at least in part of the determined time difference to be streamed to user terminals over a data network within the first time period.

A UHD display presents HD video in the native resolution of HD, leaving some portions of the UHD display unused for presenting the HD video. Ancillary information received, for example, in real time with the HD video or in parallel with the HD video over the Internet is presented in the unused portions of the UHD display along with the HD video.

An image display device including a tuner configured to receive a RF broadcast signal; a display; a first input configured to receive a first image signal input from a first external device connected to the image display device; a second input configured to receive a second image signal input from a second external device connected to the image display device; and a controller coupled with the display, the first input and the second input, wherein the controller is configured to display, on the display, a plurality of icons including a first icon and a second icon, wherein the first icon comprises a first default image identifying the first input and the second icon comprises a second default image identifying the second input, change the first default image to a first video image currently being played on the first external device and corresponding to the first image signal received from the first external device in response to the first icon being selected if the first external device is connected to the image display device, and change the first video image back to the first default image in response to the second icon being selected, wherein the first video image is displayed at a position corresponding to an area where the first icon is displayed, and wherein the controller is further configured to change the second default image to a second video image currently being played on the second external device and corresponding to the second image signal received from the second external device in response to the second icon being selected if the second external device is connected to the image display device.

Systems and methods for recording programs using a user's equipment and a network recording device are provided. An interactive television application may determine whether the user's equipment has sufficient resources (e.g., tuners or space) to record a program selected for recording. If the interactive television application determines that the user's equipment does not have sufficient resources, the interactive television application may select, automatically or in response to a user instruction, the program for recording with a network recording device. In some embodiments, the user may have to pay for the use of the network recording device, or may be required to purchase a given tier level of service. The interactive television application may play back programs from the network recording device as VOD offerings, or may direct the network recording device to transfer recorded programs to the user's equipment when it has sufficient resources.
