That's on me for not updating it yet (my job, not Bill's) but we do also provide the top 20 of the MOST time-shifted (as opposed to % shows) yet. we do those comparisons as well. We do both because we think it's interesting to see even for some of the lower rated shows what the % of DVR viewing is. We don't rank DVR viewing for all broadcast shows because Nielsen limits us to list of 20. Angie, generally I agree with you, but we do the absolute time-shifted chart too.

It's a false notion of success. Why not just add up the time-shifted audiences for all shows, and THEN compare them. That is the comparison that really counts!
