CIMM DEFINITION: An industry agreed upon standard (not yet in existence) minimum level of average seconds of tuning duration before a tuning event will be saved in STB memory and sent upstream for tabulation. (Source: TRA)
NOTE – There is a difference between a one second and a five, ten etc., second standard. How is surfing calculated below the sub five second level? How to agree upon the standard?
NOTE – TRA does not recommend any Dwell Time filtration when collecting tuning data.
