单选题A middle-aged couple sits in front of a TV set. He flicks idly through a magazine, she holds a drink. An advertisement for Marks & Spencer, a British retailer, comes on. It is a humdrum domestic scene, one that could have been captured at any point in the past 50 years. The husband and wife are playing back a programme that they have captured on a digital video recorder—something they do often. They do not need to watch advertisements. Indeed, they claim never to do so. Whenever an ad comes on during a recorded programme, the husband says in an interview, he zips through it at 30 times the normal speed. Just outside Brighton, on England's south coast, Sarah Pearson watches people watch television. She has almost 100,000 hours of video showing utterly banal scenes—people channel-surfing, fighting over the remote control and napping. Her findings are astonishing. There turns out to be an enormous gap between how people say they watch television and how they actually do. This gap contains clues to why television is so successful, and why so many attempts to transform it through technology have failed. In the past few years viewers have gained much more control over television. Video-cassette recorders have been replaced by DVD players and digital video recorders (DVRs) , both of which are easier to use. Cable and satellite firms offer a growing number of videos on demand. TV has gone online and become mobile. As a result, viewers' expectations have (hanged dramatically. Katsuaki Suzuki of Fuji Television, Japan's biggest broadcaster, says nobody feels they need to be at home to catch the 9 p.m. drama any more.① But a change in expectations is not quite the same as a change in behaviour. Although it is easier than ever to watch programmes at a time and on a device of one's choosing, and people expect to be able to do so, nearly all TV is nonetheless watched live on a television set. ② Even in British homes with a Sky + box, which allows for easy recording of programmes, almost 85% of television straws are viewed at the time the broadcasters see fit to air them. ③ " People want to watch ' Pop Idol' when everyone else is watching it," says Mike Darcey of BSkyB. If that is not possible, they watch it as soon as they eats afterwards. Some 60% of all shows recorded on Sky + boxes are viewed within a day.
