DVRs weren't really much of a thing for a LONG time. TIVO was around in the late 90s/early 00s, but wasn't that common, and they left the UK afrer a few years (until they came back with Virgin in the 2010s). SKY+ launched in 2001, but it was a premium product at first, not a standard subscription item, and not many people had it for a fair few years. You probably had to wait until over a decade after Diana died until DVRs were truly that common.
