According to the Neilson Company *There are an estimated 110.2 million television households in the USA. A single ratings point represents 1%, or 1,102,000 households for the 2005-06 season. Share is the percentage of television sets in use tuned to a specific program. They have scanners attached to tv sets in some homes. I have never been approached by the company.

Much of the ratings system still consists of the completion by viewers of ratings diaries, in which a viewer records his or her viewing habits, generally for a week, in exchange for being advanced a nominal fee.

Through the ACNeilson Families. They connect a scanner to their TV sets. I am a ACNeilson panalist for computers. I have a scanner connected to my PC and once a week it transmits all the websites I have visited. It's fun!

They have special monitors which they implant into your brain via the remote control. You must destroy the remote or put it in a bag and bury it to break the cycle of control they have over you. Do it quickly or you wll be doomed

they dont really. sometimes research companies call people and survey them-but mostly its just advertising you're hearing.
