Maximize Your Direct TV Connection with an HD DVR

Simply being a subscriber of Direct TV services means getting a whole lot more entertainment out of your tube than other, less advanced customers get.  Not only are you miles ahead of cable and broadcast television customers in terms of HD channels and overall channels, but you also already have spectacular Direct TV packages for sports lovers that are exclusive to subscribers.  Yet, despite the fact that you are leaps and bounds ahead of your cable-subscribing friends, you still have one more thing to do to maximize your satellite set up: get an HD DVR.

The monument to home entertainment that you have always envisioned cannot be complete without one of these bad boys.  The revolutionary effect it will have on your TV-viewing habits will have the entire house happy and harmonious regarding who gets to watch what, when.  A rare predicament, indeed.  The capabilities of DVRs today make them more than worth the investment—which isn’t that big anyways.

What’s the big deal about HD DVRs then, you ask?  First of all, try out the fact that you’ll never have to sit through boring, endless minutes of commercials again (assuming you don’t want to).  Whatever you’ve recorded—and bear in mind, lost of DVR users only watch what they’ve already recorded—you’ll be able to fast forward and rewind through at will; unending commercials become a three to four second haze of scrambled imagery.  Absolutely brilliant.

Second, there’s the pausing live TV option to take into account.  Who has never wished they could just put their live show on hold to do something real quick, like answer the phone, save the burning food in the oven, or use the restroom?  Everyone has been in that situation, and the answer to this dilemma is the DVR.  No matter what you’re watching, and without needing to press the record button, all the TV you watch will be pausable.  No more touchdowns, home runs, goals, slam dunks, or anything else lost to the whim of fate.

Then, there are the incredible memory and recording options that deserve mention.  All the people in your home will be able to record more than enough viewing material for their weekly consumption without anybody’s requests having to be turned down.  You will have to find a way for everyone to watch all the stuff they’ve recorded, because these gadgets have got some pretty colossal memory disks these days.  As far as recording options, say goodbye to fighting over which program will be recorded at a specific time: with your HD DVR you’ll be able to record multiple inputs simultaneously, which means you won’t only be free of quibbling with your roommates or family, but furthermore you won’t have to make the painful choice between two great sports games, or two great movies, etc. etc.  It’s really quite a pacifying experience.

Last but not least, you’ve got to remember that this little box works in high def, always assuming the channel is in high def, too.  A not-so-minor detail that has made it a hugely popular item in households throughout the country.  May there be many years of DVR-induced television bliss to follow.
