According to the report, time-shifting and ad-skipping features are the main drivers of the adoption of DVRs. Using the time-shifting feature, the viewer can record and watch videos at any time, as well as rewind and play recorded videos. The ad-skipping feature allows viewers to fast-forward through commercials. With economic growth around the world, the income level of consumers has also increased; therefore, high-end multipurpose DVRs have become an affordable option for more people.

Linear TV services are in constant competition with streaming and Internet TV services such as Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu. In addition, as a result of the rapidly evolving nature of technology, manufacturers must consistently update their products to incorporate new technologies at least yearly.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
