Do these stats include people that have made their own DVRs?  Is there any way to track that or are we just including households that have ordered them from cab/sat companies?  I see they say, "...have a DVR of some kind", but I'm not sure what that means exactly.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[daaper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 10th 2008 9:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nearly half of American households to have a DVR by 2014]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/09/nearly-half-of-american-households-to-have-a-dvr-by-2014/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/09/nearly-half-of-american-households-to-have-a-dvr-by-2014/</guid><description><![CDATA[If there was a way to get guide information to a dvr for free there would be more stand alone DVR players on the market.

You can use a Tivo, or roll your own.  Eventually, with the advent of Tru2way (notwithstanding the craptacular name), you will be able to buy your own STB at retail (other then a Tivo) and use it on "any" cable system.<br><br>Its not really the Cable Companies fault that the FCC and Set top manufacturers put down mandates that prohibit them selling units outright, or transferring units from one site to another.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ultatryon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 10th 2008 4:19PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
