I don't like BBT or 2 and a half men or 2 broke girls or Mike & Molly. I did like Scrubs, I do like P&R, Community, and a few other more adventurous shows.

But the degree of retard that some people take these arguments to almost makes me want to stop giving my opinion on things.

I once got a survey form to fill out for the Neilson system. It was like a census form where I kept track of my TV watching habits for a week.


You were a part of sweeps week.. a bit more "true" version of the Nielsen as a whole. Just because people don't understand Nielsen they tend to "attack" it however.. while the system is broke, it's a bit bigger than most people know as well.

Do any of you happen to know a DirectTV owner.. did you know Niesen see's their TV views?

I am. Do they see DVR viewings, because I don't watch anything live.

i would guess because your tuner has to go to that channel to record.

Niesen started showing DVR ratings as a part of "true" ratings this ratings year (Aug. 2012 -) They are also looking into adding internet views on top of that.. They get these DVR numbers from 2 sources: TiVo and DirectTV DVRs connected to the internet.

They get live viewing data from the old school "Nielson Box" about 10% of "Cable Boxes" about 50% of "DirectTV DVR Boxes connected to the internet" and "TiVO Boxes"

That answer your question?

ETA: If you record a show, but watch it live, DirectTV will send that data as a recorded show, TiVo sends it as a live view... and the Nielsen box see you were there. They then supplemental that data with how many cable families are watching live to get an estimate on the DirectTV viewers who were watching live, even though it was recorded.

As a Parks & Rec fan, I will say that it is a bit disconcerning that they'll be matched up in the same timeslot as ratings monster Big Bang Theory. I mean, it was pretty much clinging on for dear life in that 7:30 slot to begin with.

I like Big Bang Theory. I don't really care who has an opinion about that. It's certainly not my favorite comedy, but I like it.

The fact that you went back and edited that post doesn't reflect well on you.

I for one don't believe the whole ratings system. It just seems fishy. No one really knows what people are watching. I've never met anyone who had those rating things in their home.
I've done it twice. All it is is a notebook you fill out for a couple of weeks. You leave one book in each room with a TV and whoever watches TV fills out what they watch in the notebook.

I imagine each notebook represents x number of viewers.
