The invention provides a method, system, and apparatus for finding,
playing, and recording broadcasts on a mobile device (400) that includes
two or more tuners and also works as a cellular telephone. The user can
provide specific preferences or a pattern of use is employed by the
mobile device to identify a broadcast. The mobile device tunes one tuner
(452) to an identified broadcast and plays it for the user. While one
tuner is playing a broadcast, the other tuner (453) is employed to scan
for another broadcast based on user preference. When another broadcast is
identified, the other tuner can start playing the scanned broadcast,
cause it to be recorded for play back at a later time, or resume scanning
for yet another broadcast based on user preference. When the mobile
device is used for other purposes, the mobile device can resume playing a
broadcast from the point of interruption.
