Personal Video Recorders

I love personal video recorders, which allow you to record television shows and movies onto a computer hard drive rather than videotape, at the same level of quality as the original program. Some have one called ReplayTV which is made by well-known companies like Samsung, Sony and Panasonic, etc. What makes PVRs so neat is they do the thinking for you. You tell it what kind of shows you are interested in, and it does the rest. Let’s say you love “MTV countdown”. You just tell the PVR you like “MTV weekend countdown” and it finds the last week MTV countdwon and records them. PVRs also allow you to pause a live TV show, say to answer a phone call, and then resume watching the show when you want. It also allows you to skip commercials more easily than a VCR. Personal Video Recorder is really remarkable.
