Abstract

A method is disclosed wherein audience measurement data for digital broadcasts, both program lineup verification and statistical audience samples, are collected from data added by the broadcaster for this purpose. A coded channel ID and other program identification data is placed in the service ID stream and the decoder or receiving device is directed to output this data to the device s communication port. A probe attached to the communication port is disclosed whereby this data is extracted and decoded for use by a data collection system in statistically selected homes for accurate audience measurement of digital programming.
