Parks: Over 45% of U.S. pay-TV subscribers want cloud-based DVR

July 30, 2014

With the Supreme Court rendering an earlier legal affirmation of cloud-based DVR technology intact, Parks Associates has found that 45 percent of U.S. pay-TV subscribers are interested in such a service.

"The Aereo case left licensing for cloud DVR rights largely unaffected, allowing pay-TV providers to move forward with cloud DVR development and implementation," said Glenn Hower, one of the three Parks Associates research analysts who wrote the report, "Cloud DVR: The New Face of Television."

"For example, Comcast recently launched in Atlanta its X1 DVR service, which allows, among other capabilities, subscribers to access DVR recordings on their mobile devices. As content owners and providers experiment with cloud technology, the consumers reap the benefits through access to these innovative offerings," he added.

From the article "Parks: Over 45% of U.S. pay-TV subscribers want cloud-based DVR" by Daniel Frankel.
