Methods and systems that enable users to find and view programs are described. In one embodiment, a user request associated with a program that does not occur in a current electronic program guide is received and a record request is created based on the user's request. A recording associated with the record request is then made. In another embodiment, a client device presents a user interface that allows a user to make a selection to view a program that is not included in a current electronic program guide associated with the client device. A unique marker associated with the program is then used to search for the program in a future electronic program guide. If the program is found in a future electronic program guide, the program is recorded.
