The comfort and ease of watching programs at one’s own convenience and saving time by fast forwarding the commercials have completely changed the viewers’ life style. Considering the fact, that fast forwarding of commercials defeats the ultimate purpose of reaching out to TV viewers, a lot is at stake for the advertisers who ignore the impact of DVRs on advertising.
