| A report in CNN added that Yankee has identified TiVo
and Echostar as the dominant manufacturers of the machines. The DVR
allows for recording to be done on a hard drive rather than a tape.
Aditya Kishore who wrote the report added that a significant percentage
of people with DVRs record most of the television they watch and
view it later. This allows them to skip ads.
Yankee has also mentioned NDS, Scientific Atlanta and Motorola
as other companies that make DVRs. Yankee made its estimate based
on the number of stand-alone digital recorders or those built into
television cable boxes or satellite equipment. It did not include
the number of PC-based recorders.
