 Biggest Hit of 2005: The Digital Video Recorder   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The DVR, which enables viewers to pause live TV and record dozens of TV shows without a videotape, has struggled since its launch in the late 1990s.
And, unlike TiVo and Replay TV, the cable DVR was relatively inexpensive (no purchase fee and, in some cases, a smaller monthly user fee.) and more convenient (the cable company simply came to your home and swapped one box for another; no need to visit the local electronics store.).
Although the cable DVR was not as feature-rich as TiVo, it performed the basic functions, such as pause, fast-forward, rewind and record.

 PVRblog | TiVo, ReplayTV, and other PVR news and reviews
What's really interesting is that while Verizon is laying down fiber to many major cities and competing with Cable and DSL companies for internet service (Verizon offers 5, 15, and even 30Mbps connections), fiber has plenty of bandwidth left over for sending data like HDTV.
While this review is brief and light on details, it looks like Verizon is using a similar Motorola DVR box as Comcast does for HD.
Still, spending $30mil on advertising to lure folks away from the units seems a bit much, especially when DirecTV could easily up the monthly DVR charge from 4.95 to 5.95 and not have to worry about lost revenue.
