Abstract
Personal Video Recorder (PVR) products have been available to consumers since
1999, and the PVR market is starting to show signs of maturation. One of these
signs is the expanding geographic availability of PVR products, particularly
into Europe and Asia. Another is the flattening of both PVR unit shipments and
product revenues.
However, long-term prospects for the market remain bright, as strong demand
from pay-TV service providers for PVR-enabled digital set top box products
will drive growth.
This report examines the market for Personal Video Recorder products. It
discusses the functionality of today' s PVR products, and provides information
about key PVR manufacturers, leading service providers, and the important
trends that are shaping the PVR market. The report provides worldwide PVR unit
shipment and revenue forecasts, unit shipments by geographic region, and unit
shipment forecasts by product type.
The report also provides the results of a US consumer survey about PVR
adoption and usage.
