The Neilson box is your TV...They can't get exact numbers, but they do have a good idea of how many people are watching these shows every night...based on the traffic to local broadcasters or something...I dunno. It's the same with radio. Don't ask me how they do it...but they know when people are watching.

No. You're wrong.

Ps...I'm resisting VERY HARD my urge to make a joke about your fears of Big Brother and Black Helicopters.

First of all, I'm not paranoid...Second, Are you saying...the cable and radio companies judge an audience of several million viewers based on a few hundred people who buy Neilson boxes?
