The overall impact of DVRs and VOD on US television viewing remains small according to the Leichtman Research Group. They estimate that less than 4% of all TV viewing in the US today is of recorded DVR programs or on-Demand viewing.

Here are other things that the Leichtman Research Group found:

• In DVR households, we record 11.3 programs per week

• Among cable VOD users, we order 4.8 programs and movies per week.

• Premium-on-Demand programs and movies account for half of all reported on-Demand usage

• 62% of DVR subscribers, and 64% of VOD users, say that they usually watch recorded or on-Demand programs when there is no regularly scheduled TV on that they want to watch
