Wow. The US must be way cool if they can track every TV in the land and figure out accurate viewing figures!

I always thought you guys used Neilson boxes to do viewership of a tv show, which is a tiny teeny sample. Boy do I feel stupid not knowing about this amazing technology.

Do you have a link to it, because all I can find about how viewing numbers work in the States is about Neilson. How wak and out of date!
