Biggest DVR gainers: 'Life' benefits most
More hopeful news for NBC's time-slot skipping "Life." The Friday night detective drama was the biggest gainer -- percentage wise -- from Live+7 DVR use of all primetime shows during the third week of the season. The No. 2 gainer, oddly enough, is the show that's being downshifted to the "Life" time slot -- "Lipstick Jungle."

In terms of raw ratings gain -- not percentage increase -- the second highest-rated show of the week, "Grey's Anatomy," had the biggest overall bump.
