Re: Digital TV - DVD Player Stats

Thread- Here are some DVD player stats. IMHO they are important because IMHO I think they will eventually take away from PVR sales. IMO you can only spend so much money and time to hook up so many thingys to a TV. A DVD and VCR hooked up to a TV today may take a serious bite out of potential PVR sales. Who wants to hook up VCR, DVD, and PVR? Not counting those who even hook up surround sound stereo.

I understand they are not apples to apples. But when/if DVD does turn into a recordable device, my feeling is they will hurt PVR sales. IMHO, I kind of feel PVR belongs in the cableco headend and it'll be too confusing for the average household to mess with. This is all simply a guess on my part. Here are the DVD stats. They are quite impressive.

PS My reference title is a little misleading. I just use the 'Digital TV' title as a catch all for all new technologies going after the 1,000,000,000 worldwide TV households marketplace. DVD, although a digital technology, has nothing to do with the actual TV set being a digital one. I keep meaning to post the digital TV(true digital set) stats, but I don't understand why they would be significant driver of digital cable quite yet.
