1. Executive Summary
Next generation digital broadcasting services are transforming consumer adoption of television
content. Within this context, digital video recorders or DVRs are a critical tool, often serving as a
thick client application in mature markets that support high levels of consumer expenditure on pay
television. Examples include the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Japan. DVR*
adoption has reached a critical mass in these markets, helping to support ARPU growth and
profitability for leading pay-TV platforms.
Pay television in India remains a growing industry. According to Media Partners Asia (MPA), an
independent research firm, more than 70% of television households subscribe to pay-TV in India, a
number expected to grow to over 85% by 2010. Much of the industrys future growth and
opportunity is dependent on the transition to and development of digital pay-TV services. Less than
15% of homes have digital pay-TV in India, primarily through direct-to-home (DTH) satellite
networks, though this is expected to approach 35% by 2013, MPA forecasts indicate.
As part of Indias digital transition, DVR services are emerging as an important enabler. DVRs
today are a thin client application in India but are crucial in helping to improve subscriber churn and
retention and, in some instances, boost incremental monthly revenues for pay-TV platforms.
Because of competition and regulatory dynamics, monthly consumer spends on pay TV remain lessthan optimal in India, averaging about Rs160 or less than US$4. In order to monetize digital
infrastructural investments, leading direct-to-home (DTH) satellite and cable platforms, including
Tata Sky and Hathway are promoting and marketing next generation digital services including
DVRs. This may help boost monthly fees and increase the value of digital platforms.
Encouragingly, the results of this survey broadly support the deployment of DVR services in the
emerging Indian digital universe. According to MPA Consumer Research, for those who own one,
DVRs are an indispensible household technology item in India, second only to the mobile phone.
This study also reveals that more than 75% of the surveyed Indian DVR owners say they cant live
without the device, valuing it higher than a home PC, VCD/DVD player or iPod. Among all
household items, it ranks third behind the washing machine and air conditioner.
On average, just over a third of surveyed DVR owners watch between 3-5 hours of TV per day, and
women tend to watch slightly more, averaging 4.3 hours compared to 4.1 hours for men. It may
seem obvious that the younger they are, the more they watch, with more 20 and 30-somethings
watching 5-7 hours a day compared to their elders. But more than 40% of people aged 60+ watch
over 7 hours per day, more than any other age group.
The DVR has also helped improved relations in the household. Over half of those in a relationship
find that the flexibility of a DVR means there are no longer any arguments about what to watch. For
families, DVRs do reduce the arguments about what to watch (47%) but more agree that the
additional freedom afforded to them from having the device means that they can eat all their meals
together (50%). This is especially true for people in their 20s and 30s.
The main reasons surveyed consumers like the device is because they dont have to hurry home in
time for a specific program (86%), or miss their favourite show because a DVR can automatically
record it (84%). It also improves the quality of their viewing experience; not only do 68% of people
say theyre much more likely to find something good to watch on television, but the same amount
agree that having a DVR has improved the enjoyment they derive from watching TV.
Perhaps part of this is because most people dont have a problem navigating the DVRs
functionality, with 84% of those surveyed saying that operating a DVR is a revelation for its ease of
use. While 22% of participants already own two DVRs (many of these are women), almost another
third of say they may get a second DVR in the future.
*Note: In India, DVRs are alsoknown as Personal Video Recorders or PVRs.

2. Key Trends
Key findings are highlighted in the report which follows.
Page numbers where corresponding tables can be found are indicated in brackets after each fact.
78% of digital video recorder (DVR) owners watch three or more hours of television each day
(p5)
The majority (84%) say they are more likely to find something good to watch on TV
with a DVR (p7)
Most (88%) say they enjoy watching TV more as a result of having a DVR, and this feeling is
most pronounced with people in their 40s (p11)
One in four hours of TV viewing is DVR recorded content as opposed to broadcasted
television (p5)
Nearly two-thirds (64%) of consumers now watch more interesting programs since
purchasing a DVR (p6)
More people in their 20s (90%) found DVRs easy to operate, compared to 70% of 60+
year olds (p9)
But more people over 50s did say that a DVR is easier to operator than a video cassette
recorder (p9)
54% of those in relationships now have less arguments over what to watch (p12)
Only 19% of participants said owning a DVR did not improve their family life (p12)
77% of people would keep a DVR over other household tech products, and only 23%
said they would live without one (p13)
More people would keep a DVR over a microwave coffee maker, blender, hairdryer or
dishwasher (p14)
Just under half said that they would not want to purchase another DVR. In part, this is
because a significant number of people (22%) already own more than one (p16)

4. The Interviewees
This survey questioned 250 people aged 16-83, who subscribe to Hathaway or Tata Sky digital video recorder
(DVR) services in India.
One issue that we would like to highlight is that there were only three survey participants under 20 years old.
Due to their limited purchasing power, and the small size of this group, they are of little relevance to this study,
and we do not recommend relying on the statistics generated from this group. These individuals are represent
the Under 20 age group and were treated as outliers.
The fieldwork was carried out during August-September 2009.
Note: Percentages may not add up to 100 due to rounding up.
