The method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving a playback request from the first user equipment to playback the recorded copy of the first program; andin response to receiving the playback request from the first user equipment, transmitting the recorded copy of the first program to the first user equipment for immediate playback. 7. The method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving a pause request from the first user equipment during playback of the first program; andin response to receiving the pause request, pausing the playback of the first program. 8. The method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving a stop request from the first user equipment during playback of the first program; andin response to receiving the stop request, stopping the playback of the first program. 9. The method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving a fast forward request from the first user equipment during playback of the first program; andin response to receiving the fast forward request, fast forwarding the first program. 10. The method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving a rewind request from the first user equipment during playback of the first program; andin response to receiving the rewind request, rewinding the first program. 11. A system comprising: a remote server;a plurality of tuners located at the remote server; andcontrol circuitry in the remote server configured to: receive, from a first user equipment associated with a first user, a first record request to record a first program;in response to receiving the first record request from the first user equipment, direct a first tuner of the plurality of tuners to tune to the first program;record the first program received from the first tuner;receive, from a second user equipment associated with a second user, a second record request to record a second program;in response to receiving the second record request from the second user equipment, direct a second tuner of the plurality of tuners to tune to the second program; andsimultaneously record the second program received from the second tuner and at least a portion of the first program received from the first tuner. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: maintain a user directory for each user of a plurality of users including the first user and the second user; andwherein recording the first program comprises recording a copy of the first program to a first user directory of the plurality of user directories, andwherein recording the second program comprises recording a copy of the second program to a second user directory of the plurality of user directories. 13. The system of claim 12 further comprising: a first storage device located at the remote server;a second storage device located at the remote server; and wherein recording the copy of the first program comprises recording the copy of the first program to the first storage device, and wherein recording the copy of the second program comprises recording the copy of the second program to the second storage device. 14. The system of claim 11 wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: receive a retrieval request from the first user equipment to retrieve the recorded copy of the first program; andin response to receiving the retrieval request, distribute the recorded copy of the first program to the first user equipment for subsequent playback. 15. The system of claim 12, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: receive a delete request from the first user equipment to delete the recorded copy of the first program; andin response to receiving the delete request, delete the recorded copy of the first program from the user directory of the first user stored on the first storage device. 16. The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: receive a playback request from the first user equipment to playback the recorded copy of the first program; andin response to receiving the playback request from the first user equipment, transmit the recorded copy of the first program to the first user equipment for immediate playback. 17.
