I'm not sure how they'd do that..  For that to work, I'd think the TV would have to be connected to the internet or some other form of communications to send information back somewhere, and the TV would have to be set up with the viewer's information.  These days though, I suppose a smart TV could include something to send usage information through the internet behind the scenes without the viewer knowing..
