Younger Viewers Transforming TV Watching, Report Says

Younger viewers are transforming how, what and where prime-time television is being viewed, according to a new report from Knowledge Networks.

The report found that younger viewers are more likely to use DVRs and watch TV outside the home, with 39% of millennials ages 13-29 reporting that they do so at least once a week compared with only 11% of young baby boomers.

Millennials were also more likely to say they switch around during prime-time commercials or program breaks and watch TV with others in the room.

Meanwhile, the portion of people “typically watching TV” between 8 p.m. and midnight remained relatively close to Knowledge Networks’ 2004 numbers. However, DVR usage increased from 27% in 2004 to 38%, and 48% of viewers now said that “most of the time” they turn on the TV in prime time “with the intent to watch a particular show” compared with 41% in 2004.

“Prime time represents an important block of time when people want to be entertained and informed,” said David Tice, vice president and director of Knowledge Networks’ The Home Technology Monitor, said in a statement. “It is becoming less about the shows' or TV networks' schedules; more and more consumers can find what interests them and watch it when they find time. The more flexibility that media companies offer consumers for watching on their own terms, in their "personal prime time," the more viewing hours they will capture.”

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

1. Study the pictures carefully. Are these pictures taken by the seller or stolen from another site? Now you ask how you count. If the seller has a lot of ads and photos are the same size of your ads is the first sign they are. Perhaps the photos have a website to check on the manufacturer’s website and see if the photos come from there.
