I use it now to watch some programming, and once tv goes digital, i'll be without over-the-air, making online viewing my only option. Will Nielson subsidize the neilson families so they can convert or will they change who they base the ratings on? Inquiring minds want to know. How does HULU count towards ratings.

That may change someday, but that day isn't today.

With shows being on the internet and bittorrent, i dont know why u would pay money for cable tv or sit down to watch it live. Its boring and aggravating to watch live tv, plus with it all available on the internet u can watch whatever u want whenever u want not just american tv, but international shows as well. Shannon,

Seems they are starting to pay attention to streaming viewership from their own sites, but I wonder how much they watch who is paying $2 to watch an episode. Serious question -- I know I am but one voice, but I buy my eps for some shows that are "on the bubble" and I wonder if it may be better for demos if I watch them from the broadcasters' sites instead (I no longer have a tv or cable -- made the move to 100% internet and love it). I can put up with a few commercials and some lesser quality if the studios pay more attention to online streaming than online pay-per-download. Thanks!
