subject: Enhance Your Satellite Tv Viewing With Dvr [print this page] Satellite TV has opened up a whole new world of television to the average American viewer. Instead of having only a few lousy channels with similar programming to choose from, all of the sudden you literally have thousands of options every time you switch on the box. But one of the hardest things about having so many options is that you cannot always see everything that you would like to watch. For example, the indie movie channel might be playing your favorite Wes Anderson film at 10PM, which might be a little too late for you to stay up on a weeknight, as you have to get up the next morning at 5. Or maybe a marathon of your favorite television show is playing on a weekend where you will be going out of town. Or maybe an important sports event is playing at the same time as the newest episode of Glee, naturally causing a generational conflict in your house.
This is where one of the greatest pieces of modern technology to ever be invented comes in DVR. DVRs are basically digital VCRs, allowing you to record programs at your leisure. But instead of having to go buy blank tapes, and set up a complicated VCR recording timer without even being able to be sure that the thing is going to record properly, DVRs are basically foolproof and automated. All you have to do is select the show to record with your remote control by accessing your televisions programming schedule. The person who installs your satellite TV can show you how to do this, but it is incredibly easy to learn (seriously, so much easier than a VCR), that anybody can do it.
You can also set up options so that it records multiple shows in the future. Say you are obsessed with Mad Men, but generally cannot catch the new episodes on Sunday nights. You can simply set up a series recording so that the DVR automatically records it every time a new episode airs. This sounds incredibly convenient, right? You can set it up to only record new episodes, or to record reruns as well.
Another great thing about DVRs with satellite TV is that you can record more than one show at a time. Say that the aforementioned sports event and Glee conflict were to occur. First, it is more important to watch the big game in real time. Acknowledging this, the Glee fan could simply record the new episode, let the athletics enthusiast watch his or her game as it airs live, and then watch Glee afterwards. Or, alternatively, if no one will be home during either event say the family was going out to a birthday dinner both could be recorded, and watched alter (although not at the same time, of course!).
Between satellite TVs amazing array of channels and the convenience of DVR, it seems like there has never been a better time to watch TV. So get your package today and start enjoying.
