Abstract:
1. A method for gathering negative user feedback comprising: tuning a multimedia tuner to a particular media content through a media channel; receiving a user submitted command that results in the particular media content not being presented, the user submitted command comprising a power off command or a channel change command; inferring user disinterest in the particular media content based on the user submitted command; associating an indication of negative feedback with one or more attributes of the particular media content, based on the inferred user disinterest; generating a list of currently available media content to be recommended to the user based on a media content recommendation algorithm; generating a filtered list of media content by filtering the list of available media content to be recommended to the user such that media content having attributes with an associated indication of negative feedback is removed from the list of available media content to be recommended to the user; and generating media recommendations based on the filtered list.
