I think that Nielsen also do phone surveys to find out what people are 
watching.  Recently, I was called by them, and was asked what I was watching.
I told them I wasn't watching anything.  Her next question was how many 
televisions I had at home, and I told her none.  She asked one?, and I told
her none, zero, none at all.  She then told me that she wasn't sure if she
could go on with the survey, this hadn't happened to her before.
