You know, this week (starting today), I became a Neilsen family. They
bribed me with $10 (which will pay for my X10 Lola) so I couldn't say no.

They have this whole little page for programs you watch that were recorded
at another time (VCR). I guess if you wanted to be realistic about filling
out this form, it'd be a real pain in the ass for you, especially since
they only give you about 15-20 lines for detailed info on previously
recorded stuff.

Which brings up a question... What do people on this list think will
happen to programming on TV, especially now that people have started to
get used to the idea of a DVR? Is there a chance commercials will get
better (so that people will actually watch them) ?
