Super Bowl's ad report

Tagged in &

Advertisers who spent millions of dollars on securing slots during the Super Bowl will await with interest a study into the viewing habits of those with the TiVo personal video player.

TiVo will later today release a report on viewing activity during the Super Bowl that will show audience reaction to commercials that aired during the game as well as to activity on the field.

Last year, a similar study of viewing activity during the game showed what adverts TiVo subscribers replayed and the viewing habits during the game itself.

Despite a couple of glitches, the event was also hailed a success for HDTV.

The new high-definition broadcast was beamed out to around one million homes able to receive the super-signal on 65 ABC digital stations and other cable systems.

The broadcast featured greatly enhanced picture quality and Dolby Digital sound.
