DVRs aren’t just good for watching Conan O’Brien at a decent hour. Nope, it turns out that they can also improve your relationship. That’s what a new study claims, at least.
The study, carried out by NDS (a big manufacturer of DVR “technology”), shows that 79 percent of respondents said that the little device actually improved their relationship. Additionally, the DVR is now the second most “can’t live without” device out there, trailing only the cellphone.
Cellphone I can see, sure. DVR? I imagine it leads to less fighting over who sees what and when. Which, in turn, I guess would improve your relationship.
I guess I’m most surprised that, for all we’ve heard, the TV is still to central to so many people’s lives.
Fact: I’ve never had a DVR.
This has to be some sort of joke. I’ve been in a relationship RUINED by a DVR. She just recorded the world and ended up watching 5.5 hours of television a day, so I think that about wrapped things up.
I DVR shows so that my friends and I can watch them together, no matter what everyone’s schedule is. We can watch it when we all have time. I can see busy couples doing the same.
