Hubby used to work for Nielsen and there were two kinds of surveys--the book and the box. They may have changed (he left the company back in the '90's), but if you were on one list, you didn't usually get on the other.

I got tired of carrying it around all the time and sent it back a year later.

You couldn't just set it by the tv, you had to keep it moving very few minutes or it stopped documenting what you were exposed to on tv or radio.
