High Definition TV With A Blu-Ray DVD

The High Definition TV with its astounding technology has completely changed the way TV shows and movies looked earlier. But there is one nagging problem and that is that the TV shows continue to be bad. With most programs pushing you to switch off your set, which can be the same regardless of whether you are watching a high def or a standard def Television, this is the time you ought to think about DVRs.

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 Television. The DVR however is not just another VCR as it is able to give you much more in terms of making TV viewing a smarter experience, where you do not have to sit through nonsense. Since it is recording whatever is happening on TV, you can constantly take a personal break whenever you want to and come back to it at leisure.

Traditional models have been available since about 1999, but recently they have had to be modified to handle high-def content. 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 thirty five hours of HD content, or three hundred hours of general content. The most recent models are equipped with other features too, for instance, the TiVo Series 3 not only upgrades general def content for quality improvement, it can also record two channels simultaneously, while the viewer might be busy watching the third channel.

The easiest way to get an HD-DVR is by leasing one from your cable company, for about  - a month although most people who do this complain about the small amount of storage (8-10 hours of HD content) and the user-unfriendliness of the typical hardware they get. The most feasible resolution to this problem is to buy a TiVo Series 3 HD-DVR, which right now costs about 0 but you would be amazed at its quality of broadcast, storage capacity and comfort of use.

The positive effects of using this type of recording device are broad. You could program it to record any programme of special pursuit to you, even if you are oblivious of its existence - for instance program the TiVo to record all movies starring Keanu Reeves screening in any channel anytime. No more ridiculous channel-surfing, and of course, 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 publicising as recently seventy percent of promoters said that with the increasing popularity of DVRs, the 30 second spots would soon become history. And about one-quarter of promoters said they would react by cutting down the amount of money spent on TV ads and concentrating their energy elsewhere. When you connect your High Definition TV with a Blu-Ray DVD and a HD-DVR, you can finally say au revoir to the irritating TV commercial messages.
