When we moved into our new house three years ago, we decided to forego our usual satellite TV subscription and put the money toward broadband service (which, surprisingly, was available through the tiny Nicholville Phone Company).
We're in a very isolated location in the Adirondack State Park, so when we hooked rabbit ears on the several TV sets in the house were connected, we found that we received a grand total of five channels--several of which are in French (one, out of Ottawa or Toronto, airs programs in Greek, Arabic, and other languages on Sundays).
The net effect of this is that we watch only a negligible amount of tv--maybe six total hours a month, all three of the viewers in the house combined (and frequently way less than that).
Technically, I assume Nielsen needs to include the tiny (but statistically significant) number of people who watch little or no tv. This should be interesting.
