DVR Use Steadily on the Rise

I remember a time when DVRs were a luxury of the financially-privileged with the rest of us limited to watching TV shows when they aired. Now, broke college students and the wealthy alike are known to possess and overuse DVRs, making commercials an inconvenience of the past.

According to a report recently released by Nielsen, nearly one-third of U.S. households have DVRs. There’s been a steady increase quarter over quarter since the beginning of 2007. Soon enough, DVRs will be as common as laptops across the U.S.
