Cable records everything you watch.If you are watching this program hosted by Ellen Degeneres they have a recording of that.Call your cable company.If you like Ellen Degeneres this is good because you are adding to her ratings.

You are missing the point. I don't care. I am watching the Emmys, on CBS, and I don't really care about Ellen or ratings.

Are you saying that every cable channel can detect whenever I go onto their channel, or when I switch the channel?....I thought that ratings were determined by those little black boxes placed voluntarily in only about a 1000 or so homes, each year...
