Let's hope we do. But anyway, TV Tonight's first exclusive article stated "whilst no panel homes were polled last night, data can be stored for two weeks" so hopefully that is more correct than something that other blog was told in 2016.
 
What, so the TVBlackbox article was just meaningless clickbait?

I'd imagine even if the data was lost they'd be a back up method in place of just writing a plain old TV viewing diary as they did for many years of people anyway.
 
I don't know what has taken so long. If the server was locked/compromised, replace or format the hard drive and back it up from the most recent backup. They did have a backup, right? Then the data from Tuesday last week onwards could be uploaded from the boxes.

I bet it was running on Windows.

Probably still running on Windows though, which will be how it got ransomwared. When you see the BSOD on train info boards or ATMs etc you have to wonder how society actually functions from one day to the next.

Please send your scoops to @Tim if you receive videos of OzTAM's staff pleasuring themselves in your email (copy me in too). Presumably, however, they paid the bitcoins.
 
Depending on their backup routine, it could take a while to restore to a certain date, involving many backup tapes. Also, there is the issue of restoring to a state that still includes the ransomware payload again.
 
OK finally the numbers are coming in.

Episode 20: 832,000

That's a big jump for the penultimate episode. Suggests that a lot of people who had previously been watching on catch up decided to tune in live for this ep and (presumably) the finale. Just awaiting Wednesday's numbers now.

Great numbers! Looks like the finale numbers will be big.

Yes it does. It had languished around 700k for so long I am quite surprised by this number. It exceeded my expectations for the finale (oops).
 
Funny the finale rated lower than the penultimate ep. Did people not watch because they were unhappy with the final three? Or did they watch the first 15 mins and switch off because it was boring, only returning for the winner announcement?

Either way, the winners of the tipping are...

@BB Daze for the main show (tipped 800k) and @Zcsund1234 for Winner Announced (912k)

Congrats guys!
