Basically the PVR/DVR are not bad. Interesting read. and appologies if it is already posted


here's a blurb

"The study also showed that viewers' likelihood of watching commercials when viewing programs with PVRs vs. live TV is nearly the same. Only 1% said they always watch the ads when using a PVR or watching live TV, while 60% said they occasionally watch them with PVRs and 62% with live TV."

Thanks. This is an interesting article on PVR usage. Most of what it says I've anecdotally noted myself, especially the lower video rental rate.

I will not accept commercials being foisted on me. If they feel like Commericals are a vital part of their income and that they cannot fathom users having a choice to recoup %20 of their time then they're free to take their pogramming back. Consumers need to send the message that "our" time is as valuable as their precious commercials. If I'm paying for Satellite or Cable access I don't want to hear it.
