Network-based PVR To Boost DVR Market

post from Gizmos for Geeks :: Whoever Has The Most Toys Wins! | on 12 October 2006 11:01:48 PM. © Gizmos for Geeks :: Whoever Has The Most Toys Wins! |

Electronic News reports that ABI Research, a market research firm, issued a report stating that network-based personal video recording (nPVR) will "radically change" everything from advertising to content distribution on video networks fueling the DVR market which is estimated to grow from 20 million current subscribers last year to over 250 million in 2011."nPVR offers substantial benefits to service providers in terms of cost," principal analyst Michael Arden said in a statement. "But nPVR has to prove that its technology is as good as client-side DVR boxes, and it raises serious issues with some content providers, issues that they are willing to take to court."ABI believes the question in coming years is how much of the function of recording storage will shift to an operator's network. The nPVR allows any digital set-top box (STB) to act as a DVR through software upgrades without needing a hard drive for storage since content is stored on a server in the network.

Get Your Gadgets a Bodyguard (Kevin Costner Not
Included)

If you can't keep your favorite gadgets physcially on you or in your line of sight at all times (and if you can, are you a cyborg?) and worry about either leaving them behind or having them leave you behind, you might consider getting them a Bodyguard. Attach the transmitter to your device, the monitor your belt - and an alarm will sound if you are separated from your tech by more than 100 feet (or, over 30 feet if you're extra cautious). The trick to this, of course, is to remember to keep the monitor with you. It's no good at all if you manage to leave both halves behind.
