When the person registers that they are watching the TV for BARB ata particular programme or times do they also have to advise actually how many people are watching at the same time.

Say, it's estimated that from the 5000+ homes involved in the collection of this data,that 1,000,000 homes are tuned in to a programme,what if say 2 to 3 people were also watching at the same time, if they don't advise that then really 3 million are watching not 1,000,000.

Surely these ratings collations can only be a guide and seemingly not a very good one, 5000+ homes for the vast millions who watch TV in the UK now.

Brian did grin though after he said it,I noticed that.

Yes and do they take into account those who watch through Sky+ or Catch-up or On-line ?
