Most people look forward to seeing their favorite show once a week (or sometimes multiple favorites through out the week, maybe even one or two shows a night) but seldom have a work schedule that allows them to be home and watch the show when it actually airs. For many, trying rush home to catch the last twenty minutes of their favorite show each week is more than uncomfortable. That is why the Video Cassette Recorder became so popular. With the VCR you could set a timer that would record a show for you at a certain time with out you even being there to turn it on or off. What a novel idea! The only problem is, for the VCR’s timer recorder to actually be as great as it sounds it would have to work consistently. Unfortunately, most people have found that the Video Cassette Recorders auto record timers do not work very consistently at all. Because of this, many many people have missed out on their favorite shows week after week. Another problem with the VCR is the speed settings : fast speed or slow speed.

The idea behind the speed settings was to allow someone to choose between quality or quantity of time on a video cassette tape. In other words, at one speed you would get great quality but it would take up much more room on a cassette tape whereas at the other speed you could get a lot of extra time on a video cassette tape. Sounds like a great idea again, but again it has it’s own problems. Many people are not so technologically inclined, and making sure the correct speed setting was on before recording every time was a difficult process. The results would be either a show at very low quality, or you would get home and start your show and it would end after only getting 20 minutes into it!



All of these problems are thankfully at an end. For many people, luxuries such as TiVo and the Digital Video Recorder are way out of their price range. Anyone who watches TV regularly has learned about the TiVo and Digital Video Recorder (or DVR) units, and most likely would give anything to have them.

The problem is “anything” used to only be a very large sum of money that most people did not have available. Now a days that particular problem is over as well. With DirecTV, hardware such as the TiVo unit and the DVR unit is more affordable than ever. Not only does the TiVo and DVR come free, so does the satellite Dish, a genuine Hughes TV top receiver, and the old trusty remote control. To make matters even better (as if that seems possible at this point), not only do you get all of that hardware (that used to cost a fortune) for free, you also get all of that hardware installed for free as well! Not only do you get it all installed for free, but you can have it installed for free in up to four different rooms in your home!
