how do they even calculate the ratings? do you have to watch for a certain amount of time? what if you change channels during commercial?
and how can they not count tivo recordings when it's on the channel? what if i'm watching and recording at same time?
i dont get it :hs:

correct ... I thought only "live" traditional viewing.
as far as Web TV or "Intertubing" ... they're not accommodated for in Nielsen ratings, but there has to be a counter on the network's site.

I think ratings are different than before. With digital cable, the providers know what people are watching now. Before, they used to send out surveys with little or no incentive, so they were extremely biased based on the kinds of people that actually filled them out and sent them in.
