Speaking of ratings...does anyone here with a DVR even watch shows live anymore? Are ratings able to account for DVRs?
Not really they have admitted that illegal torrents and Tivo might have helped certain shows get cancelled, had they been looking at the dvr ratings such shows like Star Trek enterprise or firefly would not have been cancelled.
Cannot exactly remember where i read this, so don't ask for a source, its basically speculation that the Nielsen people have looked at the dvr issue.
