Im assuming we are talking about the hopper....however...a tivo...that could possibly be connected to the internet..also collects info...its a conspiracy...big brother has total control..except for ma and pa kettle watching their 400 pound sony tv..thats connected to an antenna
The number of posts on here about non-Hopper receivers is more than enough evidence that the viewing habits reported by the Hopper are far from accurate for the entirety of Dish subscribers. Is there enough data for the stations to extrapolate the likely number of folks skipping commercials? Probably. And I expect advertising rates reflect that factor, so what is your point regarding "moving"?
Of course they monitor our viewing habits as best they can. The fact still remains though, there is no accurate way to know which commercials are actually watched by how many people. They can make certain assumptions from the available data and probability factors, but even the accuracy of those calculations are suspect depending on the assumptions used.
How do they account for the commercials you miss while you go make that grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich? Is there a body count sensor on their STB's?
Exactly my point! They can say how many views an ad potentially got, but not how many views it actually got.
More like I bought a ticket to one high school football game, so I'm entitled to sneak into a different high school game. Not nearly as bad. I think this is more a question of personal ethics.
I've read some really sickening posts on satguys, but this tops the whole bunch.
Well... It's actually good if you don't grill it!
Another odd combination that isn't as bad as it sounds is cottage cheese and ketchup. Yes, I tried that as well. More than once.
Me tooIt'll be OK with me if you never invite me to a picnic!
