Your Opinion on DVRs?

Robbie Starchman: We have dish network, and it has DVR the brand I believe is Echostar technologies, it came with the plan we have. I can honestly say that it does cost, but i think like 5 dollars a month, and you can get it put on two tv's it might not even cost weve had ours for like 2 years. I will say I don't watch much tv, because I don't hve time, but the DVR has made it so easy to watch those shows that I regretted missing, it holds, tons of stuff on it, we have one recording almost 24/7 and we rarely run outta space unless someone fogets to delete the already watched stuff.I love ours, and while its not TIVO its definately a good thing to have and functions the same, pause, rewind live tv. you can pause it at the beginning and skip thru commercials when your liek half thru it....Show more

Maritza Ebanks: Hi swimboy233,We prefer TiVO because of simplicity of use. The schedule is always correct because it is updated every day. I can program TiVO to record from! out of town over the Internet. TiVO learns what you like and recommends shows that you might like. Often times we never would have known they were on. You can program an entire season of a given series with a single click and TiVO never forgets. You can tell TiVO you like someone or something and it will locate shows for you. For example if you tell it you like John Wayne it will watch for and record anything he is on.With my series 2 TiVO I can transfer recordings to my computer, edit them if desired then record them to a DVD. You can also allow TiVO to share pictures and music from your computer. It will play the music and slide shows on your TV.I could go on and on about TiVO. There is one downside and that is the monthly (you can pay yearly if you want) fee.To learn all about TiVO check their web site here - https://www3.tivo.comCheck the TiVO user forum here - http://www.tivocommunity.comThe TiVO Community Store often has good bargains for TiVOs or accessories.
