eMarketer: DVR Sales to Grow Fivefold by 2008

A recent study by Strategy Analytics says sales of integrated digital video recorders (DVRs) will grow to 27.3 million in 2008, bringing the total number of integrated DVR users to 71.5 million. Integrated DVRs are those that are built into set top boxes versus stand-alone units. The adoption of digital television and cable companies' incorporation of DVR technology are the driving forces behind this growth.
