Though I prefer missing the noise and reading what I am interested in, I did watch about 4 debates, Some R, Some D, online. I have not watched any convention coverage.

This was the mid '80s and they randomly sent us the forms along with a note saying that for each form we turned in of what we viewed we were paid a small sum. I don't remember receiving a box though but that was a lot of years ago. Problem with it was you could fudge the forms to favor shows you liked even if you decided to watch something else.
