Justin at the New York Times’ Freakonomics blog writes about the economics of watching TV with a DVR, calculating that his DVR saves him 2 hours a week and the net present value of that savings every week for the rest of his life is about $200,000. And he ends the article wondering why more people don’t have DVRs (only 3 in 10 U.S. households don’t have a DVR). What do you think? Why don’t more people have DVRs?
