[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8819822, member: 20564"] No, it's not. Had a friend who was a one of the Nielsen samples. He had a pager-like device he worse that caught identifying outside-human-hearing parts of the broadcast so it knew what he was watching regardless if he was at home, in a sports pub, or stopping by the TV section of an electrons store. It captured his entire experience. And also it separated out what he was watching from his wife and from his daughter since they had their own pager-like devices. He had to fill out demographics and such information, and got paid a monthly fee. What I was talking about is not that. I am talking about [I]exactly[/I] what Umbran was talking about, that through the device used to stream or the device used to watch cable TV, reporting back what is viewed on the device. Umbran was saying that access to this data is new, but the cable devices have been able to report back for decades what channel they are on, is the TV turned on (via the HDMI cable), and if someone has their DVR recording capability, what shows are being recorded. In other words, we are talking about a very specific set of information, just if it was available only to streamers or also to cable TV. [/QUOTE]
