A DVR is basically just a PC (in a small case with a special

Everything goes to the hard drive and is then sent to the TV. That is how it
allows you to pause, rewind, FF, etc. * When you change channels, it is not
instant, but the ability to do those functions makes it a vey nice toy to
have.

I used to have Dish and their DVRs, I dropped them when they went nuts
with added fees.

I got a TIVO and loved it, for awhile I just used it on antenna TV.
The newer ones have a digital tuners,and work AWESOME.

Best of all it just plain WORKS!

My dish ones had perodic bugs that required reboots etc. very annoying

my tivo is rock solid..dependable. works great on a cable card with
comcast

better than a VCR it records 2 shows at once, and you can start
watching a show while its still recording.

I enabled SKIP on my tivo, so i can skip forward and backward thru
commercials. I rarely watch live tv, I primetime has 17 minutes of
commercials so i start watching survivor 15 minutes late and catch
up by the end.

connect your tivo to the internet and it does netflix and other
streaming
