DVR Owners Devour All Types Of Media

from the feed-me-media dept

It turns out that DVR owners seem to live off of media. While it's not all that surprising that they'd watch more TV, they also spend more time reading the newspaper, reading magazines and surfing the internet than the average non-DVR owner. In fact, the difference in time for all those activities is greater than the difference in TV watching -- though, maybe that can be explained by their newfound ability to speed through TV shows.

    I totally agree with the statement that DVR owners devour media. My household has a DVR and we're always either watching recorded shows or reading news or surfing or blogging or.... I am a media junkie and so is my wife. Friends who also have DVRs also exhibit this behavior.
