Last week, Nielsen issued the Top Ten’s of 2008 for a variety of media.  This week Nielsen takes a more detailed look at the top timeshifted television programs in the U.S. during this calendar year.   
The charts below show the top ten primetime TV programs that saw the biggest increase in timeshifted playback within seven days from the original telecast. 
The first chart is ranked by total gain in household audience from timeshifting, and the second chart is ranked by the percent increase in household rating.
