TV is frustrating

orangerfulOkay, so you can download the pilot episode of 'Chuck' from Amazon for FREE (because NBC and iTunes are having a little fight) so how will they judge the ratings for the first episode? I mean, if I do download the pilot (not sure if my computer meets the requirements) and watch it, why would I bother watching it on the night it aired? And if TV execs are still looking at Nielson ratings and such, how will they know which people didn't watch because they weren't interested, and which people didn't watch because they already saw the pilot because of this download.
I'm just saying, after losing shows like 'Drive' and 'Kitchen Confidential' because of "poor viewership" in the first few episodes, will free downloads like this be taken into consideration by the Powers That Be?
Though I should probably stay calm, this is NBC not FOX we are talking about...still...
EDIT: Dangit, looks like you need Windows XP and I'm still rolling on Win 2000. *sigh* Doesn't say anything about Mac at all. That's harsh!!! I guess that's because Mac is iTunes territory...still, I don't want to sully my new MacBook by downloading WMP on it. ew.
