1. A method of electronic component operation, whereby the component performs:
- one or more of capturing and receiving data associated with usage of a television including one or more of activity data, application data, application manager data, system time/date information and activity data associated with another component of the television;
storing the data;
determining whether a report is a first report associated with a first power-up of the television;
determining a report number for the report, the report number usable to estimate when the report was generated;
generating the report by aggregating the one or more of the captured and received data and appending the determined report number to the report, wherein the first report is formatted to include first report information, and subsequent reports include customized information; and
