No it isn't. The sample are all given set top boxes which count what 
they watch and how long they watch it for. As little as 10 seconds 
counts as a view.

Disney are not publishing the figures because the viewers for the 
programmes on their service are virtually non existent. The same goes 
for every other streaming service. At least Amazon Prime offers free 
next day shipping and even same day and before 1pm shipping if you spend 
over £20.
