While we will continue to report both sets of data for broadcast timeshifting, we’re interested in which table is more interesting to you.
Please let us know using the poll below.
What would be more meaningful is the full list of shows with their audience after adding the weekly DVR.
The fact that NBC gains the most just shows a possible correlation between DVR viewing and bad shows that nobody watches even though they're hyped.

I would also like to see the Live+7 full list of shows and where they stand. Since I only watch a few of them, i.e. Smallville, Supernatural, NCIS, Star Gate: Alatuns, and that's about it.
So I would like to see how that fill in the whole mix of shows, be it high, middle, or low. But it whould be nice to see.
