DVR owners watching less TV

Opinion

One would assume that those with DVRs watch more television, given that they’re recording a plethora of TV, right? Well, you know what happens when you assume…

Research indicates DVR owners actually watch less TV than their non-Tivoing counterparts, a fact that is sending networks into a tizzy. Given the whole “skipping the ads” aspect of DVRs, the only thing networks like about the damn boxes is the possibility America is spending more time with their boob tube.

Upon hearing the news, CBS is deploying the ‘ol “La, la, la, la, I can’t hear you!” defense.

Wonder if Tivo will lose its Emmy over this.
