I'm not surprised that the US is only in the middle of the pack; for
many years TiVo subscriptions were only available in America, aside
from a brief period in the UK. I'll bet more than one Australian here
got started with digital video recording through a US TiVo modified to
use the OzTiVo homegrown scheduling service. Even today, TiVo is only
available in a few places outside the US
(<URL:http://support.tivo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/40/session/L2F2LzEvc2lkL3FrRVhXOUNq>).

Also, 90% of Americans get TV through cable or satellite as opposed to
over-the-air, and I'll bet there isn't a single US cable/satellite
provider that doesn't offer some horrible atrocity of a DVR-enabled
settop box.
