Blu-Ray DVD And HD-DVR Technological Science

By Graham Webb

The HDTV science is as unbelievable as it has give movies and TV shows a brand new appearance. But, there is still one small issue: much of the stuff that's on Television is still terrible! With most shows pushing you to switch off your set, which can be the same no matter of whether you are watching a high def or a standard def Television, this is the time you ought to think about DVRs.

The DVR is the short form of digital VCR which is also called a personal VCR or PVR which essentially is same as a Video Cassette Recorder, which records content from a TV program. Since it is recording whatever is happening on TV, you can constantly take a personal break whenever you want to and come back to it at leisure.

Regular models have been available since about 1999, but in the past few years they have had to be changed to handle high definition content. A modern HD-DVR (High-Definition DVR) has a hard disk drive bigger than the one in your desktop computer and uses it to store up to thirty five hours of HD content, or 300 hours of general content. of course the fresh models have improved in other areas, too - for example the TiVo Series 3, for example, can up scale general definition content to give it better quality, and can record 2 channels concurrently while you watch a third.

The shortest and simplest way to obtain a HD-DVR is to take one on rent from the cable company, by paying six to ten dollars per month as rentals, but users usually are not too happy with the shortened memory storage (eight to ten hours of high def content) as well as the difficulty in handling the accompanying hardware. The best solution to this issue right now is the TiVo Series 3 HD-DVR, which costs about 0 but is vastly superior to the typical cable company boxes in broadcast quality, storage, and ease of use.

The positive effects of using this type of recording device are large. You could program it to record any TV Show of special pursuit to you, even if you are unaware of its being - for example program the TiVo to record all movies starring John Wayne showing in any channel anytime. No more insignificant channel-surfing, and of course, it can be used to skip over commercials, which can eliminate several hours of wasted time per week.

The affect is so great that nearly 70% of television promoters confirmed in a recent study that with DVR encroachment in the market, the 30 second spots would become defunct. And about a quarter of promoters said they would respond by reducing the amount of money spent on Television ads and concentrating their energy elsewhere. When you connect your HDTV with a Blu-Ray DVD and a HD-DVR, you can finally say au revoir to the annoying TV commercial messages. - 32611
