I am Pretty sure you can't but i am not positive. becasue with dish network you can record movies you buy on PPV, and i think it would be against the law but maybe its a loopwhole?? not sure, hope this helps
The EverFocus ECOR4 4-CH DVR w/DVD BURNER does that.
Off of your DVR, if you have one.
Most TV providers provide DVR. I have Charter and I use their DVR service. I know that UVerse, Direct TV, and Comcast also offer DVR. It is great! I never miss my favorite shows now!
No, you will need the remote that goes with the tivo dvr.
The most popular and reliable brand of DVR recorders would be TiVo.
You can play a recorded show from one DVR but you cannot play it on another DVR. A DVR works similar to a computer that is not linked to any other computer or the internet. You may record something on a single DVR and the television it is linked to will save the show you want to watch at the particular time it plays. Then you will be able to go back at a later more convenient time and watch the show as you like. But if you two DVRS' in a house, one upstairs and the other downstairs, you can only play recorded shows on the DVR that you recorded the show on.
It depends on the DVR company. I believe that Knowlegy and Midcontinent can hold 80 hours and I think Dish can hold over 200 hours. I'm not sure about the other ones. You could go to there sights to find out.
There are several companies that provide direct TV, with HD and DVR. DirectTVPlus HD DVR offers a service where you can record, watch, and delete shows in any room, with just one HD DVR.
There are lots of interesting shows that one can find from a DVR. One of my favorites is The Walking Dead which, as of November 2013, airs on AMC at 9pm on Sundays.
If you have a DVR box you can't set reminders.... you can only record shows. On the NON DVR boxes you can set reminders.
Basically, yes, TiVo is a type of DVr recorder. It allows you to record shows while you are not home or simply watching another channel on the same set; just as a dvr recorder.
In order to record 5 shows at once, you would need a DVR that has 5 separate tuners. The majority of DVRs only have a single tuner, and there are a few that have 2 tuners, but I have never heard of one that has 5.
