Owning a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) makes for a happier home life according to a new survey of DVR owners in India commissioned by NDS and undertaken by Media Partners Asia (MPA).
Owners of DVRs such as Tata Sky+ and the Hathway Digital Set Top Box PLUS Personal Digital Video Recorder questioned for the survey overwhelmingly said that a DVR makes TV viewing more enjoyable (88%), and enables them to find and watch more interesting programmes (64%).
A number of respondents remarked specifically on how a DVR is easy to use and has improved their lives. A 34 year-old man from New Delhi said that he liked owning a DVR because he found it "convenient to watch programmes around social engagements". A 62 year-old man liked the fact that it was "very easy to use".
The survey was carried during August-September 2009. The telephone survey involved 250 people across India, aged 18 to 83 years' old, who have a DVR at home.
