Personal video
recorders
which automatically store viewers' favourite shows are dramatically
changing
audience habits, according to a new survey. Although the technology is still used only by a minority of the
population, those who have Sky Plus or TiVo devices are already addicted.
Seven out of 10 programmes watched by
owners of the technology, which allows viewers to record a whole series of
programmes at the touch of a button or pause and rewind live TV, are
recorded.
