 DVR
- 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.
