Abstract

A system is provided based on user equipment such as a set-top box or computer on which an interactive television application may be implemented. Information may be collected on the television viewing activities of a user and the user's interactions with the interactive television application. The interactive television application may be an interactive television program guide. The collected information may be transmitted to a data collection facility using e-mail protocols, using the communications capabilities of a web browser, using a stand-alone FTP application, or using the communications capabilities of an operating system installed on the user equipment.
