Nielsen TV Ratings

Yep, that's right - we've been asked to be a Nielsen home. They are coming next week to hook up whatever it is they have to on all the TV sets. How it works is that from now on we use a special remote to switch channels, and it saves that data and ships it out every night at 3am. Supposedly it can track what we DVR and watch at a later date too since much of what we watch is recorded so we're not stuck to having to be at home any specific time or day to watch our favorite shows.

What I didn't know is that we get paid to do this. It's not much, but everyone gets a check every six months that we stay with it including the kids. Anyway, I guess it's not a big deal, but if you see a big spike in the popularity of Battlestar Galactica reruns coming out of Raleigh, that'd be us!
