We were contacted by them to be a Nielsen household. Has anyone ever done this? I think it would be fun.

Yes, in high school they called and I answered and signed us up. It was not as fun as I'd imagined it would be. This was back in the early 90's, there were these little books where the whole tv lineup for your system would be printed, and then these little mutliple choice cirlces to mark in how long you watched each show for. We did it for a month and decided not to continue.

It sounds like a lot of work. Chat Icon The guy who works for them is coming on Tuesday to talk to us about it so we shall see what this whole thing entails. I just thought that we watch TV and they know how long and what we watched somehow.

my grandparents did it recently. They loved it because they would get their TVs & VCRs fixed for free by Nielsen! Chat Icon

I did once.... They sent us an envelope with $10 cash in it and asked us to record everything we watched and recorded. If it wasn't a manual task I would have done it more than once. The second time they sent it I just kept the money/

My friend does this. They even got a new TV from the deal. I don't think they have to fill out anything, I thought they knew everything they watched or recorded by installing some equipment.

My mom did it a couple of years ago - when they came to attach the special box to the TV (which tracks what you watch) - they messed up her TV and bought her a new one!

Yep they have PPMs now (portable people meter as we say in the business) and you dont have to fill anything out anymore.
