I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised to find that directv promotions for existing customers allowed me to take advantage of having a DVR. I never knew that you could actually pause, record, fast forward and rewind all of the shows that were recorded! That is awesome since i like to record audio samples from documentaries that are played throughout the week. Having a DVR makes it a cinch to queue up the shows to exactly the right point that I want to sample the audio from. I guess that I am getting a but ahead of myself with the DVR, because I have yet to learn all of the features that are given within the menu.

I cannot tell you how happy I am not to have to devote a lot of space for my physical copies of my favorite shows and movies. What an eyesore that was. I am old enough to remember having to put labels on all of the VHS cassettes that I had in my collection. Things are much simpler now with the implementation of DVR’s. I am really impressed also by the quality of the recordings, since they beat the pants off of other formats of recording that I have had to use in the past. I now consider having a DVR an essential commodity.
