The comfort and ease of watching programs at one’s own convenience and saving time by fast forwarding the commercials have completely changed the viewers’ life style. Considering the fact, that fast forwarding of commercials defeats the ultimate purpose of reaching out to TV viewers, a lot is at stake for the advertisers who ignore the impact of DVRs on advertising. International advertising market has already started adopting creative ways to hold the viewers’ attention in this time-shifted world.

This study is based on literature review to understand the threats and opportunities of DVRs in global market, identify the creative strategies adopted by other countries to combat these threats, analyze the current situation of impact of DVRs in Indian market, and make recommendations for future in context to India.
