SUMMARY
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.
