I didn't mean it in a bad way. People that DVR shows aren't stealing anything, but its better for the networks and the future of your favourite shows if you watch your shows live. Well actually it doesn't matter what you or I do, because unless you are a Nielsen family, what you do doesn't affect anything. 

Yes, the TV networks have to adapt now but still they haven't. 


It may be better for TV networks that people watch shows live but is that they still don't understand technology. People are still prepared to pay for content and are paying just to get rid of ads even if content itself wouldn't change. That is why people pay for Netflix and other streaming services which have no ads.

Heck, people have a long time paid extra money for cable channels which don't have ads. I'm not from USA but I think for example HBO doesn't have normal ads at all and they still can afford to make expensive quality TV shows. If you can make big-budget TV shows without any ads, it just shows that something is wrong with traditional TV network thinking...
