Or in this case, inside the box (cable/sat box).That's a good idea. I wonder if providers could use this as a negotiating tool... "we'll give you statistics on what people are watching in exchange for a lower fee per subscriber." Let's think outside the box.

Actually the diary is good in that it isn't real time. It allows the DVR now. They include those that watch via DVR instead of real time. I'm one of those that I watch less than 1% real time.
