Whenever you're ready. Digital Video Recorders, or DVRs as they're often called, are VCR-sized boxes that hook up to your TV and have maximum recording times ranging from 35 to more than 300 hours. Similar to VCRs, they record TV shows, but that's about where the similarity ends. DVRs do their recording on a hard disk just like those found in computers. This digital recording medium gives DVRs some really interesting abilities. How would you like to pause a TV show while you go get a snack? Or record a show with one touch of a single button? Or instantly access any of the recorded TV shows? If the idea of being in control of when your favorite TV shows are on appeals to you, read on. Ready to change your TV-watching life? Watch this video to learn more about the easy-to-use features of the TiVo service. Windows Media See video for broadband connections (9.4MB) See video for dial-up connections (1.7MB) Real Video See video for broadband connections (8.2MB) See video for dial-up connections (1.5MB) ReplayTV and TiVo TiVo and ReplayTV are the names of the companies that provide the interactive on-screen program guides and services that make DVRs so user-friendly and useful. There’s also an RCA DVR (although it’s called a Digital Media Recorder) with a built-in DVD player that offers a free channel guide service, but we’ll get to that later. Both ReplayTV and TiVo let you pause, rewind, and freeze live TV, as well as record and play back shows with incredible ease. They’re able to record programming over-the-air, or through cable, digital cable, and satellite feeds. There are, however, several differences between the units. A ReplayTV DVR's primary function is to record the shows you've told it you want to see. For instance, if you told ReplayTV to find shows that have Andy Griffith's name -- 'cause who doesn't love Andy -- in the title or description, it would search for and let you choose from several shows that meet that criterion, and let you choose what you want it to record. Once you’ve got your shows recorded, you can breeze right past commercials with ReplayTV’s Commercial Advance™ function. ReplayTV also offers the unique ability to send and receive programs from other users. If you and your sister both have ReplayTV and a Broadband Internet connection, then you can surprise her with the perfect birthday gift by sending over her favorite "Seinfeld" episode from your ReplayTV DVR to her unit. Plus, ReplayTV and the Internet hook up again to give you scheduling flexibility. By logging on to MyReplayTV.com, you can schedule shows to be recorded while at work or even on vacation. And when you return, you can even show off your vacation photos on your TV, rather than on your smaller computer monitor. With ReplayTV’s Your Photos™ features, you can transfer digital photos from your PC monitor to TV by connecting through your home network using an Ethernet port. A TiVo DVR's main mission is to find and record shows it thinks you'll like. So, it searches for and records shows it "thinks" you'll like. How does it know what you'll like? You teach it. Using the "Thumbs Up" and "Thumbs Down" buttons on the remote, you can teach TiVo about your likes and dislikes. Using Mr. Griffith as an example again, you could tell TiVo that you REALLY like "The Andy Griffith Show" by giving it three "Thumbs Up" and that you were less enthusiastic about "Matlock" by giving it as many as three "Thumbs Down." Shortly, TiVo will have a clear understanding of the kinds of shows you like and will begin to find shows you like with startling accuracy. Other TiVo features make recording your favorite shows even easier. For example, With Season Pass TM , you can record the entire seasons of your favorite shows automatically, without repeats. If you have a broadband connection and a home network, the new Home Media Option™ will help get even more out of your TiVo Series2 DVR. This versatile feature lets you check out your digital photos and MP3 music files on your TV-even while they're stored in a PC on the other side of the house. Plus, you can schedule recordings anywhere there's Internet access, and record programs in one room and then watch them in any other room that's hooked up to TiVo. Now that's convenience! TiVo charges $12.95 per month or a one-time fee of $299.99 to cover the expense of providing you with daily program guides. Similarly, ReplayTV charges a one-time service activation fee of $250, or a monthly fee of $9.95. The Home Media Option™ is available for a one-time fee of $99. RCA RCA’s Digital Media Recorder offers many of the same functions and features of ReplayTV and TiVo, including the ability to record, play back, and pause live TV. However, the Digital Media Recorder is unique to DVRs in several ways. First and most important, it does not require a service fee as TiVo and ReplayTV do. It allows you to record TV programming through the fee-free Gemstar Guide Plus+ Gold™ Interactive TV guide, although RCA’s DVR costs more than most of the the ReplayTV and TiVo DVRs. The program guide gives you instant listings of TV shows up to seven days in advance of airing. You simply select the shows you want to record, program the Digital Media Recorder with the touch of a button, and you’re all set! The RCA Digital Media Recorder is not simply a DVR, it’s also a progressive-scan DVD player. With progressive scan capability, you get a cleaner, sharper image on your screen than you get with the older standard interlaced process as long as you have a digital TV. However, if you don’t there’s no need to worry, as your picture won’t suffer any adverse effects There’s a reason RCA calls their DVR a Digital Media Recorder. Not only does the Digital Media Recorder allow you to record up to 35 hours of programming on its 40GB hard disk drive, it also lets you store up to 1,000 MP3 music files and 10,000 JPEG files for playback and viewing on your connected TV. You simply transfer the files over to the DVR from your PC or other device by connecting through the USB port. And because the the Digital Media Recorder has a progressive-scan processor, JPEG images will benefit by appearing more film-like. With a DVR, never again plan your schedule around when you’re favorite shows are on. Instead, watch your shows when you want to, and as often as you’d like. And with DVRs’ many other exciting features, you’ll experience TV like you never have before.
