<p>There is provided a method of processing user data in a digital television system (100). The television system (100) comprises a principal server arrangement (110), a peer-to-peer network (120) coupled in communication with the principal server arrangement (110), and user nodes (70) coupled to the peer-to-peer network (120). The method includes steps of: (a) propagating program content data from the principal server arrangement (110) to the peer-to-peer network (120) in a peer-to-peer manner; (b) providing a subset of the propagated program content data from the peer-to-peer network (120) to the user nodes (70) for user presentation thereat; (c) collating information at the user nodes (70) indicative of user responses to presentation of program content provided from the peer-to-peer network (120) to the user nodes (70); (d) communicating the collated information as user data from the user nodes (70) at least one of: directly to the principal server arrangement (110), indirectly via the peer-to-peer network (120) to the principal server arrangement (110); and (e) processing the user data received at the principal server arrangement (110) for generating statistical data representative of user responses to the program content presented to the users (60).</p> |
