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.

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

    DVR owner

    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.
