What is a directv dvr with tivo?

DirectTv is a form of satellite tv. DirectTv recently started a relationship with Tivo to offer dvr service. This means that you can watch a show, pause it, record it, and save it to a hard drive in your receiver. You can store and record tv shows directly to your receiver, like a computer, and play it back whenever you want. http://support.directv.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/77/~/directv-relationship-with-tivo---new-hd-dvr


How to Program a Satellite DVR That Uses Separate Receivers?

If you have a satellite DVR system that employs separate receivers, you may be wondering how to program it in the most effective way. Well, it’s not as hard as you think it is! Satellite DVR systems with multiple tuners, or receivers, give you great flexibility in how you deploy the technology in your home. While it may seem confusing or intimidating at first, reviewing this guide will help you understand the different ways you can program a satellite DVR that uses separate receivers. • First, understand the technology you have in your home. Satellite DVRs with separate receivers can be used in a couple of different ways. • You can use both tuners, or receivers, at the same time on one TV. This allows you to use features like picture in picture (PIP) or to record one channel onto your DVR while watching live TV on a different channel. • You can also use your satellite DVR to watch two different channels on two different TVs. Some satellite DVR boxes are limited in the quality that they can support on a second television. For instance, the primary receiver may support 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i resolutions, while the secondary receiver only supports 480i. This doesn’t limit the programming you can watch using the second receiver, it only limits the quality of the signal to which you’ll have access when using the second receiver. • Satellite DVRs with separate receivers often also support a mix of high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) programming. The DVR has a set amount of space, and it can hold more content if that content is standard definition. If you choose to record high definition content, the DVR will not be able to hold as many hours of programming as if you record standard definition content. • If you can’t program your satellite DVR to your satisfaction, you can always consult the instruction manual or the manufacturer’s website for further details. If you have a satellite DVR system, programming it can be a real hassle. Satellite DVR systems with separate receivers give you many configuration options, but figuring out how to configure your system can be confusing. Following the information explained here should help you to setup your satellite DVR with separate receivers.

What are the most popular DVRs for Christmas 2007?

TIVO is the best DVR---hands down. Often, the "cable company will give you a DVR as part of their "box"--but that DVR is a bare bones version of what you get with TIVO. All it is, really , is a glorified VCR-it allows you to record TV shows (on a computer chip--rather than a tape) and watch them later. TIVO, of course does that too. But TIVO is "smart"--and it also allows you to get what TIVO cals a "season pass" to a show. What that means is if you watch, say, Desperate Housewives- and you want TIVO to tape it every week --it will. Sometimes a regular VCR or the barebones cable DVR tries to do this as well--but if there is a schedule change TIVO knows about it and still gets the job done. If its a rpeat--TIVO knows and will skip it. Also--if the show is changed from Monday to Thursday night. No Problem--TIVO reconfigures your season pass automatically and still records your show. The "other" DVR records whatever show is playing at the old timeslot...not what you wanted. TIVO also allows you to put in the name of an actor or director and automatically record every show when that person is involved. Limit it to just movies that person is in---or just talk shows that person is on---TIVO can do all of this. Want to record all movies with Tom Cruise? no problem--TIVO will seek them out and record them for you. Want to skip the Tom Cruise movies but record every talk show Ton appears on? No problem--Want to see every movie directed by Speilberg? No problem--- TIVO can do that. All of this can be done with the push of a button too-- no complicated directions/instructions to follow either---very very intuitive. Better yet- if you have two shows you want to record at 8PM on Monday. TIVO will record one of them and then catch the re-run of the show it was supposed to record and couldn't get because of the conflict. Want to exclude repeats from being recorded---not a problem, TIVO can do that too. Best of all--after you have used TIVO for a while it "learns" what kind of shows you like. Dramas? Thrillers? Cooking shows? ....and it will automatically record shows during "down time (when nothing else is scheduled to be recorded) that fit then characteristics that you have shown you like. So you might find a cooking show that is new or that you were unaware of... compliments of your TIVO. Last--if you tell TIVO you like Jay leno (for instance) and ask it to recommend other, similar shows....TIVO will promtly list all similar shows for you to check out. Most likely it would reccommend Connan O'Brian and Letterman--but it will also list other talk shows (Spike fergeson anyone?) that you may never have heard of. All this and a full TV guide that can be searched and sliced and diced every way possible. Get TIVO-- you will wonder how you EVER lived without it. Best $8 or $10/month you will ever spend.

How does dreambox work?

Dreambox works like all satellite tv receivers work. It decodes the signal coming from the satellite and allows you to watch satellite tv channels on your tv. You connect the dreambox to your satellite antenna, than connect it to your tv, and do an auto scan, and you can watch satellite tv channels on your tv. Almost all Dreambox are HD, so you can watch HD channels using dreambox receiver.
