As of yet, I don't think Tivo does the individual tracking that we fear, at
least not that they are admitting. I just read a US News article about the
president of Nielsen Media Research (the world-famous TV Ratings company),
and it discussed Tivo--in that Tivo did not gather enough info to make their
user stats useful to either Nielsen.
