| | Why digital video recorders should be big business (but aren't) |
 | | But the fact is that in the two-plus years since their introduction, digital video recorders (or if you prefer, DVRs, personal video recorders, or PVRs), still haven't caught on as much as manufacturers had hoped. |
 | | TiVo was more than happy to record other programs that it thought you would like based on your personal preferences (you help it learn your likes and dislikes by pressing a Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down button on the remote). |
 | | That's ironic, given that DVRs are so simple that even your dimwitted relatives who still have their VCRs flashing 12:00 could figure out how to use all but the most advanced features. |
