Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a media processor having a controller to solicit an appraisal for each of a plurality of media programs presented by the media processor for composing a proposal to update one or more operational features of the media processor according to one or more consumer preferences determined from one or more supplied appraisals. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims16
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- determining whether a household comprises a plurality of media subscriptions;
- presenting, responsive to determining that the household comprises the plurality of media subscriptions, a graphic user interface at a media presentation device of one of the plurality of media subscriptions for providing a survey regarding the plurality of media subscriptions for a subscriber of plurality of media subscriptions;
- receiving a completed survey regarding the plurality of media subscriptions;
- determining a consumer preference from the completed survey, wherein the consumer preference includes an indication of a level of technical expertise of the subscriber;
- determining a level of technical expertise of a user from the completed survey;
- determining a proposed modification according to the consumer preference, wherein the proposed modification includes software updates related to the plurality of media subscriptions to adjust an operation control of the media presentation device, wherein the proposed modification comprises adjusting an amount of information presented in a command menu based on the level of technical expertise for the media presentation device, and wherein the proposed modification includes downloading content software applications executable by the media presentation device to provide additional media control features not already available at the media presentation device;
- sending the proposed modification to an electronic programming guide of a respective one of the media presentation device;
- and
- receiving an acceptance of the proposed modification to the electronic programming guide of the media presentation device.
