Most ratings you see are Live+SD...which takes into account DVR viewing up to 3 am local time the next day. This DVR viewing only counts fully if all commercials are viewed during the viewing. There's another rating called the C+3 which takes into account commericial viewing up to 3 days later but for the most part, Live+SD is good enough for the general public and tend to be pretty close to C+3 numbers.
On a side note, while absolute ratings are nice, USA Network and the advertisers in general pay their rates on the 18-49 ratings. In this sense, RAW did a
1.6 and 1.7 for the first and second hours respectively...good for fourth on Monday (Pawn Stars topped Monday night's cable ratings). Last week, RAW did a
1.4 first hour and a
1.6 the second hour 18-49, good for sixth (at least the last hour was good for sixth). RAW last week had to go up against the HR derby
(2.5) and the MLB Special that had the celebrities and models playing softball or whatever
(2.7).
