According to a news published at Ars Technica, DVD could face a difficult period because of digital video recorders (DVR). Based on a report it seems that 31 percent of DVR owners said that they are watching fewer DVDs.
As reported by Ars Technica, there are two main reasons:
Some DVR owners are using the devices to build up their movie libraries. Did you miss it in the theaters and forget to rent it when the DVD was released? No problem: wait until it's on HBO and record it to watch at your leisure.
DVRs also give owners more TV options. Why run down to the local video store if you have several hours of your favorite TV shows awaiting your viewing pleasure? Watching all of that recorded TV eats away at the time available for watching DVDs.
And don't forget another important factor: with DVRs you can remove all unwanted stuff (above all the intrusive and really boring commercials).
