Improve Your Home With A Blu-Ray DVD And A HD-DVR

By Fred Astair

The HDTV with its astounding technological science has completely changed the way Television shows and movies looked earlier. All The Same, nothing can be done about one fact, and that is the quality of TV shows remains horrible. A foolish sit-com will insult your intelligence in HD just as easily as it will in standard def, if not more and this is where DVRs come in.

A DVR is a digital VCR, and is also known as a personal video recorder, or PVR whose basic function is the same as an old VCR, to record content from broadcast TV. But the DVR is much more than a VCR, it is a machine that can cut the fat from your media diet and add hours of free time to your busy week, a few minutes at a time, by making the Television viewing experience more efficient. Plus it is constantly recording what you are viewing, 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.

Though regular models are in use from 1999, the later and newer models are ready to handle high def materials. A modern HD-DVR (High-Definition DVR) has a hard disk drive bigger than the one in your desktop PC and uses it to store up to 35 hours of HD content, or 300 hours of general content. naturally the fresh models have improved in other areas, too - for instance the TiVo Series 3, for instance, can upscale standard definition content to give it better quality, and can record 2 channels concurrently while you watch a third.

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 8 to 10 hours of HD content and the hardware they receive is not very comfortable to use. The only way out of this is to get one TiVo Series 3 HD-DVR available at about 0 but is worth every penny in terms of broadcast quality, memory storage and user-friendliness.

The positive effects of employing this type of recording device are broad. This device can be programmed to record all the shows where you have a special pursuit even if you do not know that these are broadcast - for example, program your TiVo to record all movies starring Samuel L. Jackson whenever it is shown on any channel. No more empty channel-surfing, and naturally, it can be used to skip over commercials, which can eliminate several hours of wasted time per week.

This could have a great effect of television advertising as recently seventy percent of admen said that with the increasing popularity of DVRs, the thirty second spots would soon become history. Even a fourth of admen are seriously contemplating replacing their Television advertising expenses with some other promotional route. With a Blu-Ray DVD player and an HD-DVR connected to your High Definition TV, you can finally fight the good fight against the tyranny of empty Television ads. - 32388
