How do the meters work in households with 4 TVs? Wouldn't it be great if everyone knew where these metres were, you could advise all these households to tune in to Chanel 9 when the NBL show is on (regardless of whether they actually sit down to watch it or outside doin the gardening) and make it look like everyone in Australia is watching it.
OK Isaac and Dicko, I believe you, but I'm really annoyed that they use such a shit system! Its pure luck whether people surveyed/have a box are basketball fans or not. They should at least tell you that the following information is based upon an estimate based on a survey. Is the same bullsh*t system used for radio ratings? I'm still surprised that there isn't the sufficient technology to pick the exact ratings.
Isaac, are you sure that how it works. I read on several internet sites, for example, that The Chasers War on Everything get 1,500,000 viewers. Im sure that 1.5 million chaser viewers dont do surveys or have meters on their TVs. Do you thin that 1.5 million is just a guess? I would have thought that with todays incredible modern-day technology TV station would be able to tell how many people are watching their station and which shows they are watching. Prehaps they can simply detect waves being sent to and from peoples TV from the transmitter?
