subject: Tv On Demand Is Here With The Latest Dvd Recorders [print this page] The idea of watching the television programmes we want to watch, or listening to a radio broadcast whenever is most convenient to us was, not so long ago, a dream that we might have hoped future technology would make possible.
That time is now here, and not only do the latest DVD recorders make all this possible, but they even give us this capability in a box smaller than our old video recorders.
The switch from video to DVD and even HDD recording has also had a dramatic effect on the design and size of the appliances involved. Its amazing to think that we now look back fondly on the days when we had to set aside lots of space for storing all the video cassettes onto which our treasured recordings had been made. And unless we had specialist editing equipment, wiping recorded material off the tapes was a long and laborious process.
Barely a generation later, and now that is all possible with the pressing of a few buttons. The sophisticated displays of the latest DVD recorders even present a visual menu for us, through which we can scroll remotely, and choose to view or delete individual programmes. Even a whole series can be set up to be recorded in a matter of seconds.
The capacity of state-of-the-art DVD recorders is truly massive, and equivalent to the size of a mainstream computers hard drive. With twin tuners, its also possible to record one programme while watching another.
But best of all is the thought that we no longer need to commit ourselves to making space in our schedules to sit down for anything from a few minutes to a couple of hours and more, to watch a programme. Video recorders were the first step in freeing us from this commitment, but now a DVD recorder takes the ultimate step. And the big bonus is that theres absolutely no compromise on the quality of a recording, even months or years after they are made.
Shopping online for a DVD recorder means prices and features of individual models can be instantly reviewed, and several models can even be compared side-by-side. Top, trusted brands such as Panasonic, Toshiba, Sony and Samsung offer massive storage capacity and the ability to watch a favourite show or film time and again whenever the mood takes us.
