This DVR has it all, a dual tuner to support two different televisions, HD programming on your primary television and SD programming on both, 55 hrs of HD storage and over 350 hours of SD storage. The model is black and a bit chunky, but that's expected and the remotes are virtually identical to the previous SD dual tuner remote.I love having the benefit of a dual tuner ...

Today, the big thing is TIVO.  If you can afford it, it is probably the way to go.  for my family's purposes, Time Warner's DVR serves our needs.Maybe it is just because I am so use to Time Warner and have had such good service from them that I am happy with the DVR.  I know this is not the case for many people.I just know that the few people around here which do have TIV...

All you comcast users be careful of this one. I have had a lot of problems with my DVR and I am not happy being that I count on that machine! I have had to call Comcast numerous times because it is not recording, says it is full and can't record anymore (even though there isn't anything on it). Comcast has replaced it twice and I am now waiting on the thrid one (they are out of them in ...

Since Verizon is currently offering a 3 month trial of their DVR services, we decided to take advantage of it and sign up for an HD-DVR set top box. It took just moments to set up and figuring out how to use it was very easy because the interface is made so that you can navigate around quickly and provides numerous options so you can find exactly what you'd like to do. One thing I noticed w...

DVR for those of you that don't know stands for digital video recorder that means you can record TV programs digitally and they are stored on hard disk if you are like me who is still a bit nostalgic for technologies passed like VCR it's very hard to find a DVR which still has it's very own VCR so you can imagine my delight when I discovered the DVR620 DVD/VCR Combo from Toshiba bef...

I first became aware of Tivo as soon as it was put on the market. I was told about it by someone who took part in the manufacturing of it and all I heard was how amazing it was. Though I listened, I wasn't impressed or interested. A few weeks later, I saw it in action for myself and I was totally amazed. At that time, I didn't fully know what it was capable of doing. After being sh...

About a year ago, we decided to upgrade our DIRECTV receiver to a DVR system- we'd had DIRECTV for about a year, and were very happy with them. We were able to upgrade for free (with a 2 year contract extension, of course!), and we currently pay nothing for the service as it is included in our channel package. I am so happy we decided to get this DVR! It is so easy to use, my 5 year old kno...

We've recently switch from satellite to fiber optic cable AT&T. It a competitor to other digital cable companies, such as Fios and Comcast. It's not available in all areas and just recently been available to our area. For the receiver box to work properly you have to have a phone jack. The problem with our 3 bedroom apartment is that we don't have one. After calling customer ser...

With HDTV finally hitting our shores it's quickly become the latest buzz but how does one obtain and enjoy all the pleasures that come with this heavenly invention well allow me to elaborate. Firstly one needs to have an HD PVR decoder and an HDTV well in this review I'll be focusing more on the HD PVR decoder. Firstly one of the features I was so keen to try was the pause and rewind fe...

OK I have to admit I was wrong about this product. My family tried to talk me into getting one of these years ago and I said no. I said why would I need that? I have a VCR to record shows if I want to, this would be a waste of money. Now I say, how did I ever live with out this? I like to watch TV, always have, always will. I have my daytime talk shows, my soap, and my evening entertainmen...

When we purchased our HD TV a few years ago we decided to upgrade our Time Warner Cable DVR to the HD DVR.  Having the HD DVR allows us to watch certain channels in high definition. The HD DVR always allows us to record two shows at one time while watching one of the shows recording.  There is a problem that we seem to encounter whenever we try and record shows in high definition. At ...

If you haven't tried it yet, you really don't know what you are missing! The first time I saw Tivo on sale was at Best Buy and at the time didn't think there was much it had to offer, except for draining my bank account each month for the subscription service fee. But, I was soooo wrong!  Later on I saw a few tv promos that the tivo company offered for a free 40 hour series 2 t...

I love television and do not know what I would do without my tivo box.  I lot of my favorite shows come on at the same time.  We all know its impossible to watch two shows at once.  Tivo can record both shows for you at once.  The best thing about tivo is that you will never have to sit through another commercial again.  All you have to do is fastforward and you ca...

Tivo is simply an electronics item no one should be without. This clever device is so easy to use that even kids can master its capabilities within a few minutes. I love how much time we save by watching shows when it's convenient for us. We also save time because we can fast-forward through the commercials. There are several TV shows that come on different days at different times, i.e. Ame...

I can't say enough good things about my Tivo.  I've had my Tivo for over four years and absolutely love it.  As most people know with Tivo you can pause live television and fast forward through commercials on recorded television.  Although Tivo may sound like a glorified VCR it will absolutely change your life.What I love most about my Tivo is that I am not longer a slave...

Recently my husband deceided we needed a digital video recorder, and now this one is sitting nicely under our TV. I was quite surprised at the ease of installation,as well as the simplicity on the on screen programming. It comes with 160gb HDD for recording, and it has HDMI output. The timeshift feature is really handy when you get a call during your favorite show. Just rewind live TV, or just ...

At the end of the day one of my favorite things to do is lay in bed and watch my favorite television shows.  I am a complete TV junkie and watch so many shows that it is scary. As my kids get older I am on the go more and more and kept missing my favorite shows.   I never have been one to use my VCR and would always forget to set it up for my favorite shows.  I decided to ge...

DishDVR from Dish TV is a very handy piece of technology to have. You can record 100 hours on it. This allows the user to be able to watch shows later when they have time. Its also handy if you dislike sitting through commercials because it allows you, upon playback,  to fast forward through the commercials or skip them one commercial at a time. Another handy thing about this recorder is t...

I couldn't imagine my life without my Tivo. Being able to record and pause live television is the best thing about it. When I first got my TIVO, I worked the closing shift at a store from 1-9pm and got home around 11:00pm, missing all of my favorite prime time shows. I decided to buy a TIVO because I heard all the great reviews from my friends at work. The TIVO records all the shows you pro...

I wasn't sure about getting a DVR, but once we had it in our home I was hooked!! I love being able to pause, rewind and fast forward live TV!! With kids in the same room it's sometimes hard to hear or see what is on the screen, so if you miss something you can always rewind and view it again!! Also, I hate commercials so I pause the screen for 10-15 minutes while I do somethin...
