Beginning with week of 12/26/05 Nielsen started to measure time-shifted viewing from PVRs/DVRs in its local and national syndicated services utilizing an A/P meter. The active/passive (A/P) meter serves as the cornerstone for identifying time-shifting activity in all metered samples (both National and Local). Rolled out to technically difficult homes first.
