The Fight For The Top Of Your TV
from the it's-war dept
Is it possible that the personal video recorder (PVR) revolution is finally happening? There have been articles about this that show up every couple of months for the last few years, and they all say the same thing: PVRs are cool, and everyone who uses them seems to love them. However, not too many people actually buy them, because they're too expensive or something like that. Now, however new entrants are coming in to the game (in this case Microsoft, and the reborn Replay). One day, one of these articles will probably be right, but no one has made a really good argument for why.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
