They do if they are watched inside a specific set of time. I thinks something like 48 or 72 hours...
I have DirectTV with no internet connection to my receiver so, in my case, they have no idea what I watch. Didn't connect my "smart" TV to the internet, either.
Not trying to defend All Access, but I'm interested to know why you don't think you'll renew.
Read Willy's post he pretty much nails it. The price keeps going up but the production value and streaming quality doesn't. IMO I think they should be putting a huge effort into improving the live stream continuously as that is where they are going to end up. TV is dying. It should be moved to YouTube also...
Cord-cutting isn't just happening, it could be escalating
Mike Snider, USA TODAY Published 1:00 p.m. ET June 22, 2018
The number of cord cutters, those who cancel pay TV, is expected to climb 32.8 percent this year to 33 million. That’s higher than the 27.1 million (22 percent growth rate) cord cutters expected for 2018 in eMarketer's forecast last year.
And those decisions are thinning the ranks of those who inclined to pay companies such as Comcast, AT&T's DirecTV and others for entertainment. Overall, 186.7 million U.S. adults will watch cable, satellite or telco-delivered pay TV in 2018, down 3.8 percent over last year, according to eMarketer’s latest U.S. pay TV/over-the-top video forecast, based on 30 different research sources. That decline is higher than the 3.4 percent drop in 2017.
Also accelerating is viewership on YouTube, Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. YouTube retains the largest audience with an expected 192 million U.S. viewers, but Netflix is expected to hit 147.5 million viewers by the end of the year. Amazon is expected to hit 88.7 million viewers, with Hulu amassing 55 million, the research firm says.
"Another factor driving the acceleration of cord-cutting is the availability of compelling and affordable live TV packages that are delivered via the internet without the need for installation fees or hardware.”
Being on National television the reason for the big bump from previous weeks, and still waiting on a race with 2018 beating out the previous years, but a big improvement nonetheless:
Well, even being on National TV didn't help bring the viewing audience buck the 2018 trend: Lowest ratings year since Fox took over: 690,000 (Almost 200,00 loss from previous two Fox years)
Back to cable and as to be predicted, we've fallen off the cliff. Only 343,000.
Once again, and the leading trend this year, the lowest since Fox took over.
The second lowest of the year:
I wonder if next year they are going to cut many of these qualifying shows given the abysmal ratings? I suppose FS1 still needs programming though, and if the production crew is already there, it's probably not much more expensive to just do the qualifying.
It will be interesting to see what they do to try and stabilize this. Those ratings and the drop off are horrid.

The Monday afternoon 4:00 live show on the National network FOX television from their twitter feed:
OVERNIGHT NUMBERS: The @NHRA #USNats scored a Nielsen Overnight Rating of .8/2, up 14% from last year's .7/2 and the highest Overnight rating for the event since moving to @FOXSports in 2016 ... it was the highest metered-market rating for an #NHRA event this season #NHRAonFOX
The 3rd race now where the ratings are so low they didn't register in cable's top 150, so no data for Sunday prime time as well as the Friday and Saturday live shows.
I don't know how they come up with the ratings but I rarely watch the Fox broadcasts since I got All Access but I do have them set to record them on the DVR.

The 4th race in the countdown where the ratings are so low they didn't register in cable's top 150, so no data for Friday Night Nitro: 10:30 PM - 11:30 PM ET on FS1, Sunday Live: 11:30 PM - 12:30 PM ET on FS1, Finals: 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM ET on FS1, Post Race Show: 7:00 PM - 7:30 PM ET on FS1

According to last year, we fell off a cliff (earlier than the previous years) and lost a half million viewers in Sonoma. We shall see...
Not FOX's best, but not their worst. 750,000. Not bad.

At least we have data rather than the previous 3 races where it was low enough to not get any results and not show up on the top 150.
