System and method of indicating video content quality

A method of indicating video content quality, the method comprising:

• collecting first performance data at a set-top box device during a first period of time, the first performance data indicating a plurality of measurement values related to a plurality of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) video content quality parameters;
• sending the first performance data to a video content quality server;
• receiving data corresponding to a graphical user interface from the video content quality server, the graphical user interface indicating a quality of video content received at the set-top box device;
• and
• providing the graphical user interface to a display device coupled to the set-top box device.

A system to indicate video content quality, the system comprising:

• a processor and a memory accessible to the processor, wherein the memory includes:
• a performance data module executable by the processor to receive performance data from a set-top box device, wherein the performance data includes values of a plurality of video content quality parameters;
• a graphical user interface module executable by the processor to generate a graphical user interface indicating a quality of video content received at the set-top box device, wherein the graphical user interface includes the values of each of the plurality of video content quality parameters;
• and
• a graphical user interface data module executable by the processor to send data corresponding to the graphical user interface to the set-top box device.

A set-top box device, comprising:

• a processor and a memory accessible to the processor, wherein the memory includes:
• a performance data collection module executable by the processor to collect performance data related to the set-top box device, the performance data including values of a plurality of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) video content quality parameters;
• a performance data control module executable by the processor to send the performance data to a video content quality server;
• and
• a graphical user interface module executable by the processor to receive data corresponding to a graphical user interface from the video content quality server and to provide the graphical user interface to a display device coupled to the set-top box device, the graphical user interface indicating a quality of video content received at the set-top box device and the graphical user interface including the values of each of the plurality of IPTV video content quality parameters;
• and
• a performance data store to store the performance data.
