Get a DVR and Watch More TV
For all those companies out there that were worried that all the people buying digital video recorders were going to somehow hurt their profits by releasing the video on the Internet, you worried for nothing. Sure, television shows are available on the Internet, but most people just watch their favorites on the DVR. The best news? They’re actually watching MORE television.
According the the Nielsen ratings, people with DVRs watch more television than people without them. That was an obvious assumption, but it’s nice to know that Nielsen has the numbers to back up the claim. DVRs are better than a VCR. They save all my shows for me and I can watch them whenever I want.
Now if we could only get the people in the music industry to realize that the same is true for music, then maybe we could get rid of that pesky DRM.
