A DVR is a digital VCR, and is also known as a personal VCR, or PVR whose basic purpose is the same as an old Video Cassette Recorder, to record content from broadcast TV. The DVR is however capable of doing much more than the old Video Cassette Recorder, in the sense that it makes TV viewing more crisp where you do not have to waste time watching trash. Plus it is always recording what you are watching, so you'll be able to pause a live transmission as if it were a recording, then come back to it later without missing a thing.
Though regular models are in use from 1999, the later and most recent models are ready to handle high def materials. Driven by a hard disk drive which is larger than the one which your desktop computer carries, the HD-DVR can store high def content spanning 35 hours and 300 hours of general content. naturally the fresh models have improved in other areas, too - for example the TiVo Series 3, for instance, can up scale standard definition content to give it better quality, and can record two channels at the same time while you watch a third.
The shortest and simplest way to obtain a HD-DVR is to take one on rent from the cable company, by paying - per month as rentals, but users usually are not too happy with the shortened memory capacity (8 to 10 hours of high def content) as well as the difficulty in handling the accompanying hardware. The best answer to this issue right now is the TiVo Series 3 HD-DVR, which costs about six hundred dollars but is vastly superior to the typical cable company boxes in transmission quality, storage, and ease of use.
The positive effects of employing this type of recording device are tremendous. You could program it to record any Tv Show of special pursuit to you, even if you are unconscious of its existence - for instance program the TiVo to record all movies starring Tom Cruise screening in any channel anytime. You no longer have to surf through the endless channels for equally endless hours and the best part is that you could view your favorite shows without the both of commercials, and this itself is such a smart way to watch TV.
The affect is so great that nearly 70% of television promoters confirmed in a recent study that with DVR invasion of the market, the thirty second spots would become defunct. And about a quarter of promoters said they would respond by reducing the amount of money spent on Television ads and directing their energy elsewhere. With a Blu-Ray DVD player and an HD-DVR connected to your HDTV, you can finally fight the good fight against the tyranny of insignificant Television ads.
