Various news outlets are reporting that DIRECTV has delayed shipments of its new HD DVR until sometime this fall. Originally scheduled to launch early this year, the switch from TiVo to DIRECTV sister company NDS apparently isn’t going well. Wall Street is predicting that the delay will mean customer losses for the satellite giant as people buying flat-screen HDTVs go with either cable or DISH for HD DVR.
Does anyone make a service provider choice based on HD DVR availability? It’s possible but it seems more likely that factors such as local broadcast HD channels, total number of HD channels and the NFL Sunday Ticket would make a bigger difference. This would be especially true if you thought that DIRECTV would only make you wait another couple of months to get the HD DVR and you could make due with the regular DVR until then.
