TiVo And Direct TV DVR

Many people are confused about the differences between TiVo and Digital Video Recorders (DVR). Any DVR will allow you to receive input and record digitally, but additional services can enhance your capabilities. TiVo is a service that utilizes DVR Digital Video Recorder technology with the added benefits of their exclusive service. TiVo allows you to utilize many features that are unavailable with a DVR alone.

Season Pass Season Pass allows you to program the DVR to record ongoing series. You can also choose to record repeats or first run episodes only. Never miss and episode again!

Powerful search engine TiVo allows you to search for programs up to 30 days in advance. Do you have a favorite star or director? How about a hobby? Simply enter the name or keyword subject and TiVo will allow you to view and choose to record every program related to your search. In addition, TiVo tracks your viewing interests and will make suggestions based on your viewing history.

Transfer Options TiVo To Go allows you to easily transfer your recordings to your PDA, Apple iPod, or a variety of other portable devices.

Broadband Integration Integration with services like Yahoo Weather, Podcasts, and Live 365 allow users of TiVo to access information via their DVR with the click of the remote.

Scheduling from the web Have you ever heard of a great show coming on that you weren't aware of? Now you can go to the internet and add that program quickly and easily with TiVo's internet programming.

There are other options if you seek to only record digitally. The most common manufacturers of DVR's in addition to TiVo are: Clover, EverFocus, JVC, Kalatel, LG, Lorex, Mace, Panasonic, Pelco, Pioneer, RCA, Samsung, Sanyo, Sony, Speco, Toshiba, and Yamaha. All Dvr's offer the ability to record in digital format from a variety of sources but only TiVo has personalized the experience and developed an extended user interface. Many of the providers listed have agreements with TiVo to integrate their services. Ion addition, most models are comparable to TiVo service. However, if TiVo is your desire, I highly recommend that you pick a model of DVR that is currently being promoted or acquire your DVR through TiVo.
