One of the most popular recent additions to the home entertainment system has been the digital video recorder (DVR). The DVR normally comes as a complement to either a digital cable or satellite Cable Television service. The DVR has many features that drastically increase the television viewing experience for its users.
Â
The main feature of a DVR is that it can digitally record television shows. A DVR user can look through their digital cable guide and easily select shows that they want to record. When the show begins, the DVR will record the program. Through the use of a DVR, the user can stay caught up on all of their favorite television programs, regardless of whether they are home when the show originally airs. Many new versions of the DVR can also record up to four different programs simultaneously. Depending on the model of the DVR that is purchased or rented, the DVR can hold up to 40 to 80 hours worth of programming at once.Â
Â
Another feature of a DVR is that the user can pause live TV. In the event that a DVR user needs to step away from the TV for a few minutes, the user can actually pause the program while they are watching and resume the program when they return. If needed, the user can also rewind the live television program to re-watch a play of a game or a scene in a show. When watching a program that was recorded through the DVR, a user can fast forward throughout the recording. This means that a user can avoid watching commercials, which allows them to finish watching a show much quicker than if they were watching it live.Â
Â
The third feature of a DVR is that they can be accessed while you are away from your home. Depending on your television service provider, you may be able to access your DVR anywhere in the world through the internet. When accessing your DVR online, you can find new shows to record, set up series recordings, or delete programs that are presently sitting on your DVR. Â
