Cable tops Satellite in PVR penetration

Not that we knew it was a race, but apparently cable television providers have overtaken satellite companies as the top distributors of personal video recorders in the US.

Cable companies have 52% of the PVR market, compared with 38% for satellite providers. Telephone providers and standalone units like from companies like TiVo account for the rest.

The survey data was collected by the Carmel Group and was gathered from over 4,000 people in 2005 and 2006.
