The networks are freaked out by a DVR. But not just any DVR. No, the new Dish Network DVR automatically skips ads in shows you record if you watch them after the day the show airs. And this is an example of serving the customer versus serving the suppliers: You, the viewer, will love this, but how can the network make money if it can't sell commercials? The problem is that the networks need a new business model, but no alternatives are coming to mind that would provide enough money to produce quality programming. Not that everything they produce is quality. (New York Times)
