are there known users of vdr within TV or radio operators?

There was a claim that some TV stations use vdr to archive their broadcast stream and another that vdr is used by cable companies as part of their infrastructure.

Are there any references / citations for this?

Tobias Grimm (e-tobi.net) wrote that in the latest c't (13/2008, p. 187). He says that some TV stations use VDR to save their program for 90 days. Apparently they are required by German (?) law to do this. He also mentions xeatre.tv, a system which is based on VDR. On http://www.xeatre.tv/cms/index.php?page=referenzen you can see some of their clients, including one TV station and two production companies.
