I appologize, I assumed with out using Google...
a Major No NO!
Ok, for a more realistic, look, or rather what most sights pull up when you use Google:
80-90% of Americans have Cable or Satilite Television.
5-10% of Americans have a DVR
So, this still proves a point...
Apple isn't going to make a DVR, because it hasn't caught on....yet.
but, with DirectTV, DIsh, and The cable commanies giving them away, I'm sure it eventually will catch on....
just like HDTV.
The media outlets know this and eventually they are giong to have to find some other form or revenue..
so, the fact that I put 60% is rather irrelevent..
to the Media Outlets, they need to start thinking like there are CURRENTLY 60% DVR, not 60% in a couple of years.
I just love that TiVo advertisment right in the Middle of "War of the Worlds" Dont you?
Have a Good Day,
