Q: What information does SONICblue collect about my digital video recorder use?
A: When you purchase a ReplayTV digital video recorder, we ask you to register the product so we can provide you with the best possible service. You may reg-
ister online at the www.replaytv.com Web site or by telephone. During registration, we ask you for Personal Information, including your name, address, phone
number, email address, and the serial number of your ReplayTV digital video recorder.
The ReplayTV digital video recorder is connected to your television and an Ethernet connection. During system setup and registration, we learn about how you
have connected your ReplayTV digital video recorder to your entertainment system and the programming signal sources available to you (antenna, cable, and/or
satellite). We also learn about where you are located, and use this information to determine what television channels and schedule are available to you. Each day,
the ReplayTV digital video recorder contacts SONICblue to download a current TV schedule for you.
Once your ReplayTV digital video recorder is set up and registered, it collects certain Anonymous Viewing Data, such as which programs you record, which fea-
tures you use, and other similar data about your use of the ReplayTV Service. If other people in your household use your ReplayTV recorder, Anonymous View-
ing Data will also be collected as a result of their use of the unit. The ReplayTV digital video recorder stores this Anonymous Viewing Data on its hard drive
under an automatically generated identification number that will not be linked to your name or other Personal Information without your permission. During the
daily download of your TV schedule, the collected information is transmitted to SONICblue and is anonymously stored in a secure server and is not associated
with any Personal Information.
