Does anyone out there have a Nielson Ratings Box?

I have never met anyone that had one or knew anyone that knew someone that had one. I have never experienced 6 degrees of separation when it comes to the television industry's Nielson Ratings Box. What up wit dat?

Does anyone out there have a Nielson Ratings Box?
My home is a Nielson rating home. This was the stupidest decision I have ever made in my life. It is not worth the hassle, I am waiting for my next check then I am calling them to come get there damn equipment out. It took the installers a total of 12 hours to install the equipment, they took apart all my equipment to install them. (TV, DVD player, VCR, DVR, x box) in 4 rooms. We have wires, modems, nielson box's. its ridiculous and they don't tell you this when you sign up, all they do is show you the nielson box that you have to press every 20 minutes or else it just keeps on flashing and if you ignore it you get a phone call the next day asking why TV # so an so did not report who was watching. And then the rep stops by unexpectedly and wants to talk to you. It's not worth it. Don't do it no matter how much they offer you and they don't offer much at all.
Reply:My family was up until about a year ago, it was pretty cool but sort of irritating always having something monitoring what i watched and when
Reply:I'm allowed to reveal it now, but we were a Nielsen family when I was a child.
