Is the DVR the Greatest Invention Ever?
The DVR has to be the greatest add-on to my TV. Ever since I got connected to the Direct TV Russian package and their top of the line HD DVR, my television viewing habits have been altered.
Let me give you an example.
If you have not watched television with a TiVo or a DVR, you are missing out. You have total control over everything you decide to watch. If you are watching a program, and all of the sudden you realize that you are hungry, you can just hit the pause button. Go make your food, and come back when you’re ready, even if it takes 15 minutes! TiVo TCD658000 HD XL Digital Video Recorder
Then when you begin watching the program again, you will have the added bonus of fast forwarding through any advertisements that come up. Zip through them every time they pop up! I don’t think I’ve seen a full commercial in three months.
Now here is how I get the most out of my digital video recorder setup. I don’t even bother channel surfing anymore. I simply set up my digital video recorder to record the shows I like. Even when watching football, I set the digital video recorder, then I sit down about half an hour after the game starts. That way, I can fast forward through all the advertisements, and watch the game in half the time. TiVo AG0100 Wireless G USB Network Adapter for TiVo Series 2 and Series 3 DVRs
Lastly, I can always see new episodes of my favorite series. An example, new episodes are coming out soon of Friday Night Lights on Direct TV. On the digital video recorder, all I have to do is pick the record series option, and every time the show comes on, my Direct TV DVR finds it night or day, and saves it for me. I can set it to record all of the episodes, or just the first-run editions. All of this in crystal clear HD too!
Then, when I have time to watch television, all of my shows are ready and waiting there for me to watch. No need to rearrange my schedule around the networks, not with my new TiVo and Direct TV.
While other companies like U-Verse and Verizion Fios have also begun to offer DVR service, satellite TV companies like DIRECTV pioneered the product.
