Everyone's schedule is busy these days. That is why the ability to record your shows when you are not home is so popular. There are satellite boxes that come with a predetermined amount of hours available to tape TV shows and movies but the ability to tape and record HDTV has not generally been a cost effective option for the general public or consumer.

It used to be that even if your TV was HD ready you did not have a way to tape your show and see a high quality picture. Technology has been working on the problem but still has not come up with many ways to record HDTV programs. One option available today to record HDTV programs is the D-VHS VCR. This is a device that many are familiar with due to their use of a regular VHS machine. When the D-VHS VCR first came out they were too expensive to fit into most budgets. Now the manufacturers are designing new models that make taping HDTV easier to use and easier on the budget. One note for these machines is that you do have to manually rewind the tape, just like in the older VHS models.
If you are using your computer and want to record HDTV broadcasts you have the opportunity to save them right on the hard drive. This allows you great flexibility in recording more programs with larger computer hard drives. When using your computer and your TV set as a computer screen to watch and tape HDTV, you might need additional equipment like adapters. One of the newer options available to help you record HDTV shows is the device called a DVR. It is basically a digital video recorder with a hard drive. When these DVR devices are set up for HDTV programs they are referred to as HD-DVR's. The boxes are available through your local satellite or Cable Company, as well as at your local electronics store. If you use a local cable company they will let you rent the DVR. These boxes hold a predetermined amount of recording space calculated by the size of the hard drive.
Right now, this option allows you to record your HDTV show and store it on the hard drive. The ability to remove it to a secondary disk or medium requires other recording devises that could be costly for now. New technology is working hard to advance HDTV taping ability.
