Digital Video Recorder
Do you often worry about missing your favorite television program? Have
you ever tried to set up your VCR to record a program only to discover
you don’t have any blank videotapes available? All of these
problems can be avoided with the newest invention in recording. DVR is
the latest technology enabling you to record television shows for later
viewing. DVR, Digital Video Recording, allows many more options than the
VCR that so many consumers have utilized to record their favorite shows.
This new technology allows you to have total control over your television
viewing experience.
With DVR technology, you have
the ability to pause and rewind live television, fast forward through
recorded commercials, and easily find and record your favorite show. In
fact with your DVR, you can set it to record the entire season of your
favorite show with just the click of a few buttons. You will no longer
have to be concerned with missing portions of your favorite show because
dinner is burning or someone is at your door. With the push of a button,
you can even pause a live television show for up to thirty minutes!
A DVR stores all video on
internal memory eliminating the need for videotapes that must be labeled
and stored. The amount of recording time available varies depending on
the model you choose. Many offer at least 70 hours of recording time with
some offering 200 hours or more. Some DVR receivers even allow you to
record your favorite programming regardless of whether day or times or
broadcast change.
Perhaps the most recognizable
name in DVR is TiVoŽ. TiVoŽ works with cable, satellite or even antennae
services. With TiVoŽ, there is a charge for the box, generally $200-$300
along with a monthly charge for the service. TiVoŽ offers many more
features than other DVR systems including recording to DVD and online
scheduling from the internet. With TiVoŽ service, you can easily search
for your favorite programs by actor, genre, or even keywords. With their
newly introduced search features, you can record programs based on your
favorite subjects. For instance, if you search for “hot rods,”
every show featuring hot rods in the description will be displayed and
you can choose which ones to record days ahead of time. DIRECTV satellite
service also offers a DVR with TiVoŽ combined so you can take advantage
of the benefits of both services.
If you have satellite service
through DISH Network or DIRECTV, the DVR is a must have to be sure you
don’t miss any programming. Unlike with TiVoŽ, DVRs through your
satellite service can often be received for free or at a reduced price
during special promotions. That translates into big savings over the
TiVoŽ service. There may also be a small monthly subscription charge
depending on the programming package that you choose through your
satellite television provider. Along with the above mentioned features,
the DVR through your satellite service provider will enable you to watch
one program while recording up to two others.
With a DVR, you may never
have to watch commercials again. Streamline your television viewing
experience with this latest technology. It is time for you to be in
control of the programming that comes into your home. With a DVR, now you
can be again.
