    Abstract: Various arrangements for monitoring the signal strength of a programming stream are presented. A tuner in a receiver may be allocated to monitor disruptions and changes to the signal strength of programming streams. Based on the characteristics of the signal strength and changes to additional data such as weather information, a cause of the disruption may be determined. The cause of the disruption may be communicated to a user. Characteristics of the disruption may be unique or localized to specific geographic locations. Based at least in part on the geographic location of a receiver characteristics of disruptions may be used to identify television receivers associated with account packing.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving aggregated content that includes a plurality of segments by a media device. Each of the segments includes an index indicating a location in a set of assembled media content. The plurality of segments includes at least a first segment, a second segment and a third segment. A first target index location in the first segment and a second target index location in the second segment each indicate a first location in the set of assembled media content. One of the first segment and the second segment is selected for display at the first location according to a stored parameter. The method further includes generating the set of assembled media content including the selected one of the first and second segments in the first location and the third segment in the second location.

    Abstract: A method for assessing viewer interest in content and advertisements may include receiving an indication regarding a content playback mode change (e.g., a change from a skip or fast-forward mode to a pause or rewind mode) occurring during playing of a media content segment such as a television program or movie. The method then proceeds to associate the playback mode change with a sub-segment of the television program, such as an advertisement or commercial, and a level of interest of a user in the advertisement or commercial is determined based on the associated content playback mode change. An item, such as an advertisement or promotional offer can be selected to be presented to the user based on the determined level of interest of the user in the advertisement or commercial. Systems for assessing viewer interest in content and advertisements include devices and components configured to perform or enable such methods.
