Abstract
User input defining criteria for including a multimedia presentation event in an event report is received. The criteria include a maximum retention period, a threshold presentation duration, and a report condition. When a user receives a multimedia program for a time at least as great as the threshold presentation duration, data indicating receipt of the multimedia program is stored. The receipt data is used to determine whether the receipt of the multimedia program meets the report condition. Access to the event report is provided to a user in response to a user input. The event report indicates receipt of the multimedia program if the receipt data meets the report condition. The receipt data is purged when an age of the receipt data equals or exceeds a maximum retention period.
