The new High Definition TV science is amazing, and has vastly improved the appearance of our favorite TV shows and movies. Nonetheless, nothing can be done about one fact, and that is the quality of television shows remains horrible. When the programs are bad, it hardly counts whether you are seeing them through your high definition or standard TV and perhaps you ought to think about DVRs, if you’ve reached this state of frustration.
The DVR is known by various names: digital VCR, personal VCR of PVR and performs the same use as the familiar Video Cassette Recorder, which is to record from television broadcasts. Plus it’s constantly recording what you are watching, so you’ll be able to pause a live broadcast as if it were a recording, then come back to it later without missing a thing.
Traditional models have been around since about 1999, but recently they have had to be changed to handle high definition content. The technical capacity is impressive, the HD-DVR is run by a hard drive, which holds more than your desktop PC and can store 35 hours of high definition content or 300 hours of general material. The most recent models are loaded with other features too, for example, the TiVo Series 3 not only upgrades general definition content for quality improvement, it can also record two channels simultaneously, while the viewer might be busy viewing the third channel.
A quick way to get a HD-DVR is to take one on hire or lease from the cable company by paying only – per month, but most users feel that the memory is not enough which ranges between eight to ten hours of HD content and the hardware they receive is not very comfortable to use. The best answer to this problem 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 benefits of utilizing such recording devices are enormous. You could program it to record any program of special pursuit to you, even if you aren’t conscious of its existence. For instance, program the TiVo to record all movies starring John Wayne showing in any channel anytime. No more insignificant channel-surfing, and of course, it can be used to skip over commercial messages, which can eliminate several hours of wasted time per week.
This could have a great effect of television publicizing as recently seventy percent of advertisers said that with the increasing popularity of DVRs, the thirty second spots would soon become history. And about a fourth of admen said they would respond by cutting down the amount of money spent on TV ads and concentrating their energy elsewhere. At last with the connection of your High Definition TV with a Blu-Ray DVD and a HD-DVR, the days of annoying TV commercial messages disturbing your TV viewing pleasure are finally over.
