operating the tracking control on a digital personal video recorder associated with the digital communication device.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

operating a sub-stream filter on the digital content event to generate an extracted digital sub-stream;

operating a text-to-speech converter on the extracted digital sub-stream to generate a digital text sequence; and

applying the digital text sequence to adapt the time-stamped set of ranking controls into adapted ranking controls.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

the extracted digital sub-stream is a voice-over audio track for a video animation; and

attenuating an effect of the digital text sequence on the adapted ranking controls to lower than an effect on the adapted ranking controls by a non-voice-over audio track.

6 . The method of claim 1 , the plurality of individually operable controls each operable to cause a video server to stream a different digital video to the digital communication device.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

correlating the digital content event to serial content based on a threshold level of the serial content represented in the time-stamped set of ranking controls;

detecting gaps in the activity associated with the serial content represented in the time-stamped set of ranking controls; and

adapting the control interface with controls corresponding to the gaps.

8 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a device including a processor and memory, uniquely configure the memory and cause the device to:

operate a tracking control in the digital communication network to track activity of the digital communication device in a context of the digital content event;

operate a timer in conjunction with the activity to form a time-stamped set of ranking controls;

attenuate the time-stamped set of ranking controls according to an elapsed time;

apply the time-stamped set of ranking controls and content inputs from a digital content manager to operate a ranking control and digital filter to generate a control interface for the digital communication device, the control interface comprising a plurality of individually operable controls; and

configure the digital communication device with the control interface.

9 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further configure the computer to:

correlate the time-stamped set of ranking controls with ranking controls of non-users of the digital communication device to produce adapted ranking controls.

10 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further configure the computer to:

operate the tracking control on a digital personal video recorder associated with the digital communication device.

11 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further configure the computer to:

operate a sub-stream filter on the digital content event to generate an extracted digital sub-stream;

operate a text-to-speech converter on the extracted digital sub-stream to generate a digital text sequence; and

apply the digital text sequence to adapt the time-stamped set of ranking controls into adapted ranking controls.

12 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further configure the computer to:

the extracted digital sub-stream is a voice-over audio track for a video animation; and

attenuate an effect of the digital text sequence on the adapted ranking controls to lower than an effect on the adapted ranking controls by a non-voice-over audio track.

13 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , the plurality of individually operable controls each operable to cause a video server to stream a different digital video to the digital communication device.

14 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further configure the computer to:

correlate the digital content event to serial content based on a threshold level of the serial content represented in the time-stamped set of ranking controls;

detect gaps in the activity associated with the serial content represented in the time-stamped set of ranking controls; and

adapt the control interface with controls corresponding to the gaps.

15 . A computing apparatus, the computing apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to:

operate a tracking control in the digital communication network to track activity of the digital communication device in a context of the digital content event;

operate a timer in conjunction with the activity to form a time-stamped set of ranking controls;

attenuate the time-stamped set of ranking controls according to an elapsed time;

apply the time-stamped set of ranking controls and content inputs from a digital content manager to operate a ranking control and digital filter to generate a control interface for the digital communication device, the control interface comprising a plurality of individually operable controls; and

configure the digital communication device with the control interface.

16 . The computing apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further configure the apparatus to:

operate the tracking control on a digital personal video recorder associated with the digital communication device.
