The ability to pause live TV and record programs is enabled by a Digital Video Recorder (DVR). Many DVRs are integrated into Set-Top-Boxes (STBs) and offered to TV subscribers as a bundled package by Pay-TV providers. This precipitated a rapid rise in DVR adoption. A 2016 study by LRG shows that 64% of U.S. Pay-TV subscribers have a DVR, compared to 45% in 2010. But time-shifting technology is evolving as well. As cloud services become more financially viable, Pay-TV service providers and operators are moving their infrastructure from traditional DVR STBs to cloud-based solutions. Recent Parks Associates research shows the number of Cloud-DVR subscribers worldwide will total 24 million by 2018.
