A processing device and a method are disclosed in which instructions are executed to determine, from a fingerprint of television content being consumed by a user, what program the user is watching so that program information may be sent for use by a smart device streaming the content to the user. The fingerprint may be compared with a database of fingerprints to find a match. The database may include fingerprints of favorite programs or of previously watched programs. The search may be narrowed according to the user's favorite programs or according to a subset of programs most likely to be watched, e.g., from a chronological history of programs the user usually watches and/or those that viewers in general usually watch in chronological order. When narrowed searches fail to find a fingerprint match, larger subsets up to and including the entire database may be searched for a match.
