Abstract: Viewer data collection in a multi-room system. A TV viewing log is created for each user or each device in a multi-room system. The log can be used to limit or monitor the amount of television watched in the household. The log allows more accurate viewer data collection to be collected, compressed, and then sent to the headend at off-peak hours.

Abstract: Systems and methods for applying media retention rules are disclosed. One embodiment of a method for applying media retention rules comprises recording instances of media content to a first storage medium associated with a digital media recorder, detecting that a second storage medium is available for storing and maintaining additional instances of media content associated with the digital media recorder and, at a time after detecting that the second storage medium is available for storing and maintaining additional instances of media content, determining at least one of the instances of media content stored to the first storage medium or second storage medium can be deleted based on a retention policy that applies selected media retention rules associated with the instances of media content based on the storage medium to which the media content is stored.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards providing a viewer an option of beginning a previously viewed DVD or DVR from its last viewed position. A processor determines a unique identifier of the DVD or DVR and stores the unique identifier in a presentation table in either an internal hard drive or RAM. When a viewer stops the DVD or DVR, the processor records the address (e.g., a logical block address and byte offset) of the DVD or hard drive, respectively, in the presentation table. At the time the DVD or DVR is viewed again, the processor provides the option of beginning the presentation at the last viewed osition.

Abstract: A server in a subscriber television network (100) receives service instances from a headend (102) of the subscriber television network (100). The server is adapted to encrypt according to an encryption scheme and re-transmit service instances to a client-receiver (110). The server reformats the service instance from a first format into a second format the client-receiver can access the service instance.
