This means that if you're watching a show that you don't want to miss a second of, you can pause to use the bathroom. Non-DVR viewers don't have this option: they have to run to the other room during the commercial break. The same goes for getting snacks: the commerical break is the only opportunity for non-DVR viewers to safely leave the room without missing the show, so they might be more likely to do so.

The viewer who invests in a DVR and learns how to use it is probably more interested in TV programming than the average viewer. Think about your own behaviour. How closely do you watch a program that you've recorded vs. one you have just flipped to randomly? I think it’s sample bias.
