more interesting i thought was how StopWatch managed the 20,000 CRID/URI-style info streaming in every second for two months (that's a lot of data no?) and how it measured and identified each program, and, since this was primarliy for advertisers, how they identified each advert? by the station's output listing/time - surely unreliable? So do adverts have URIs? what about the promo snippets on BBC?
If you know an accurate time (broadcast on all DTV/DAB systems, and analogue with teletext at least); and you know the channel being watched, you can look-up what was on. No need to broadcast any URLs or CRIDs or anything.
