Parks: 31% of pay TV subs want place-shifting DVRs

January 09, 2014

More pay TV subscribers want to be able to access to programs stored on their DVRs similar to the way Dish Network customers can use its Sling product to watch video from set-tops in their homes on any Internet-connected device, Parks Associates said Friday.

The research firm released a report that found 31 percent of pay TV subscribers want access to place-shifting devices. Its surveys also found that 27 percent of multichannel subscribers are interested in TV Everywhere content, and 26 percent want the personalized programming recommendations that can be delivered from new interactive program guides from providers such as Comcast, DirecTV and TiVo.

"Remote access to DVR content was the most popular among pay-TV households without that service," John Barrett, Parks director of consumer analytics, said in a prepared statement.

From the article, "Parks: 31% of pay TV subs want place-shifting DVRs" by Steve Donohue.
