Do TV ratings take TiVo into account?
I was reading a post on John Amato's Crooks and Liars about Keith Olbermann, and he made this point:

The best way we can show our support for Countdown is to tune in and leave the show on for the full hour.


I TiVo Keith every night because I'm usually not home to watch it. Does that count?

1. Not unless you're part of the Nielsen ratings
Nielsen doesn't monitor every home's viewing habits--only a statistical sample, and only if you have a Nielsen box (or fill out their form--do they even still do that?)
