It's nice once in a while to take a day off and go through the sev 3 and 4s. As you say, they're usually stupidly easy to fix and verify - and it makes the trend chart for that week look good.
It will be fun to watch, in a few years, the Anti-Robot Militia getting sued by robots who feel they're really being discriminated against, and the born-again-PC league backing the robots all the way.
The measurement service provides television audience data on a minute by minute basis for channels received within the UK. These data are available for reporting nationally as well as at the ITV and BBC regional level.
Viewing estimates are obtained from panels of television owning households representing the viewing behaviour of the 23+ million households within the UK. The panels are selected to be representative of each ITV and BBC region, and collectively provide a network sample of 4,485 households.
Panel homes are selected via a multi-stage stratified and unclustered sample design. This ensures that the panel is fully representative of households across the whole of the UK. Each panel is maintained against a range of individual and household characteristics (panel controls). As the estimates for the large majority of the panel controls are not available from Census data it is necessary to conduct surveys (Establishment Survey) to obtain this information.
The Establishment Survey is a random probability survey carried out on a continuous basis and involving some 40,000 interviews per year. The nature of this survey ensures that any changes within the characteristics of the population can be identified. Panel controls can therefore be up-dated and panel household representation adjusted to ensure representativeness is maintained. In addition to being the prime source of television population information, the Establishment Survey also generates a pool of potential recruits from which panel member homes are recruited.
Each of the 4,485 panel member households have all their television receiving equipment (sets, video cassette recorders, set-top box decoders etc.) electronically monitored by a 'peoplemeter' monitoring system. This system automatically identifies and records the channel to which each television set is tuned when switched on and all viewing involving a VCR (recording, playback, viewing through the VCR etc.). In addition the metering system incorporates the capability to 'fingerprint' videotapes during recording sessions and to subsequently identify such recorded material when played back (time-shifted viewing).
All permanent household residents and guests declare their presence in a room whilst a television set is on by pressing an allocated button on a handset. The metering system monitors all registrations made by each individual.
Throughout each day the meter system stores all the viewing undertaken by the entire household. Each night the panel household is contacted by the processing centre by telephone to collect the stored data. This procedure is carried out on every home each day to produce 'overnight' television viewing data.

How about 6197439? Just because they chose not to mention them in a press release doesn't mean they haven't protected their IP.
