Do any of you guys participate in the permanent ratings? My aunt has a box on each of her tv's with buttons that dictate the age and gender of the viewer. Say if 7 year old Jimmy was watching her tv, he'd press his assigned button or 'sign-in' as a guest viewer. The box intercepts the channels viewed, what time, and who was watching. Then, everynight at 2am, the box phones home to Nielsen ratings and reports the viewing for that night. Apparently, one person watching her tv represents 1000 Canadians, so it brings some responsibility to what you watch. And some guilt.
