Digital Video Recorders do actually help save relationships!

London, Sept 3 : Digital Video Recorders (DVR) save relationships, according to a new survey.

According to the NDS DVR Report, some 79percent of 1,000 DVR owners reported that the technology has improved their relationship.

The statistic was just one of many presented by NDS, a manufacturer of DVR technology, suggesting the machines are becoming increasingly integral in U.S. households. For instance, DVRs were cited as the second most essential household technology item they can't live without, second only to the mobile phone.

Among non-technological household items, DVR was beaten out only by washing machine and microwave oven.

"The results show how fast the DVR has become an indispensable part of many people's lives in the U.S.," the Mirror quoted Steve Tranter, vice president, broadband and interactive delivery, NDS Americas, as telling Hollywood Reporter.

"It's one of those technologies that, once you use it, it makes you wonder how you coped before," he added.
