| TV Time-Shifting
on the Rise: Worldwide PVR Unit Shipments More Than Double
in 2004 |
 |
Consumers are becoming increasingly
familiar with the concept of time-shifting their television
programming, and both pay-TV service providers and Personal
Video Recorder (PVR) product manufacturers are reaping
the benefits. Demand for PVR products increased tremendously
during the past year, as unit shipments rose from 4.6
million in 2003 to over 11.4 million in 2004. Leading
the surge in unit shipments were products designed for
satellite TV subscribers and for consumers wanting a DVD
recorder with an integrated hard disk drive.
This report covers PVR products and services. It
discusses the functionality of today’s PVRs and provides
an in-depth look at key PVR manufacturers, leading service
providers, and the important trends that are shaping the
rapidly growing PVR market. The report provides worldwide
PVR unit shipment and revenue forecasts, unit shipments
to specific geographic regions, and unit shipment forecasts
by product segment. It also includes the results of a
US consumer survey about PVR products and services.
