5.0 out of 5 stars A good read and a handy reference, May 4, 2009
This review is from: Digital Video Recorders: DVRs Changing TV and Advertising Forever (Nab Executive Technology Briefings) (Paperback)
The author has done a wonderful job of writing an engaging book about the history and future of DVRs. This book is insightful; it starts by providing a good industry reference point and expands to address the business models, impacts to traditional advertising, and future growth of the industry. I found it to be a good read and a handy reference. This is a great book for anybody in the Broadcast, Cable, Direct Broadcast Satellite, IPTV or other related media industries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Reading in the DVR Technology Space, April 17, 2009
By 
This review is from: Digital Video Recorders: DVRs Changing TV and Advertising Forever (Nab Executive Technology Briefings) (Paperback)
Just finished reading and I must say Jimmy Schaeffler has done a great job of capturing the DVR market space from both its current and historical viewpoints. I've ordered 25 more copies for various team members and I'm making it a "must-read" for all outside marketing agencies working with Digeo, Inc. as we continue to evolve our MOXI HD DVR experience.
