Ladies and Gentlemen:

We were previously principal  accountants for Rentrak Corporation and, under the
date of July 9, 2004, we reported on the  consolidated  financial  statements of
Rentrak  Corporation  as of and for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.  On
August 23, 2004,  we resigned.  We have read  Rentrak  Corporation's  statements
included  under Item 4.01 of its Form 8-K dated  August 23,  2004,  and we agree
with such statements,  except that we are not in a position to agree or disagree
with  Rentrak  Corporation's  statement  in  paragraph  number 1,  that  Rentrak
Corporation is in the process of selecting a new independent  registered  public
accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005.

Very truly yours,


/s/ KPMG LLP
