USA Currently: 110.2 mln of US households have a television, and 7% of them have DVRs (~7.7 Million) ( Neilsen )
 
 USA Projected DVR penetration to reach 27 Million by 2008. ( Linkage)
 
 No complete numbers for the UK, but the guess is between 2.5% and 5%.  10% of Sky subscribers have the Sky+ box (770K).  PDF linkage
 
 5 Million expected in UK by 2008.
 
 DVR service penetration will also increase to 20% of Western European Digital TV Homes by 2008, says Yankee Group.
 
 Global Penetration: The number of installed digital video recorders (DVRs) is forecast to rocket from 9 million at end 2004 to 120 million by end-2010 â?? to reach 11% of global TV households ( More Linkage)

Don't confuse the purpose of Broadband (Video on Demand) vs. what a DVR does for you.  The DVR only records what I tell it to record, and allows me to play it back.  VoD will eventually allow me to playback nearly all shows, including those which I have not necessarily asked to record with my DVR.

and Comcast continues to behind the times with DVRs literally... our DVR is once again running a minute slow so the beginning of shows get cutoff...  :mad:  system wide problem apparently... morons
