DVR And Its Significant Use In Technology
Posted By Peter Stone on May 1, 2010
I still remember when I first saw an ad in a technology magazine for something called a Digital Video Recorder. I thought to myself, this will never work, how on Earth can you manage to store hours of films on something called a hard drive? It just seemed that tapes and cassettes were always going to be around.
The idea sounded ludicrous, but still I hoped it was true because I was forever running out of tapes to record things on. I was always having to delete things before I could tape something new, and I must admit that using fast forward and rewind was a bit of a chore. Perhaps Digital Video Recording was what I had been waiting for.
I remember what made it even more appealing was the fact that you could record programs automatically as well. You just set the timer and away you went. You did not even have to be at home to record your favorite program, and the picture quality was supposed to be as good as the original.
But like anything else this new, this technology came at a price. The first DVR units were selling for around $1000.00, and unfortunately this was a bit out of my price range; I had to wait a couple of years before the price finally dropped before I could afford to buy my first DVR.
Bu in the end it was well worth the wait, my life was made so much easier by the introduction of the new Digital Video Recorder.
Technology has moved on even further since its first inception, and a DVR can now hold even more programs than before.
It almost seems like an eternity ago when the DVR first came out, but it was not really that long ago. But like most of the other recent inventions, I can not imagine what life would have been like without it.
They are such a handy piece of equipment to have, and if anything goes wrong with your cable, at least you have a back up of programs to watch that are stored on your DVR.
