Networks: Most DVR Playback Viewers Skip Ads, Some Pay Attention

Published on November 16, 2005
In a report issued at today's press conference held by the six major television networks, executives said that the DVR will only increase viewership to major network programs, reports CNET News. For example, homes with a DVR watched 5.7 hours of TV daily, compared with 5.1 hours for homes with a DVR. And, DVR households still watch about 90 percent of their television at original broadcast time. The 10 percent of recorded shows is mostly composed of the most popular shows during a given season.
