Select A Directv Dvr

DirecTV DVR models were combined with TiVo, but since November 2005, DirecTV discontinued those models and started marketing its own DVR models. There are two types of DirecTV DVR models available: DIRECTV Plus DVR (standard DVR) and DIRECTV HD DVR (High Definition DVR). A few simple steps to focus on your needs will make it easy for you to choose the most appropriate model of DirecTV DVR.


Instructions


1. Determine what functions you want in your DirecTV DVR. Do you want only the basic features or enhanced capabilities? DIRECTV HD DVR comes with enhanced features such as Season Pass (which allows you to record every episode of your favorite show for an entire season) and Wish List (will automatically record your favorite films, actors, or directors).


2. Establish your budget right from the beginning. The DIRECTV HD DVR model is much more expensive than the standard DVR model.


3. Is the quality of color, sound and contrast of the telecasted program of high importance to you? Then the DIRECTV HD DVR is the right system for you. It captures and reproduces the finest and clearest reception quality and gives you a movie theater experience at home.


4. Choose a DIRECTV Plus DVR model if you have limited recording requirements. The DIRECTV Plus DVR model records up to 100 hours of standard definition digital TV and the DIRECTV HD DVR model records up to 30 hours in high definition and 200 hours of standard definition digital TV.


5. Choose a model based on the warranty period. DIRECTV Plus DVR usually comes with a 90-day warranty, whereas the DIRECTV HD DVR model comes with a 1-year warranty.


6. Save on time and effort by choosing a model that has an interactive programming menu so you can predetermine your requirements on the basis of favorites, alphabetical order or dates, and then set it accordingly. Easily find the programs you want to watch or record using the TiVo 14-day interactive TV guide that comes with the DIRECTV HD DVR model. Choose this model if you prefer the functionality of TiVo. Alternatively, the DIRECTV Plus 14-day program guide that comes with the DIRECTV Plus DVR model is also simple to use, although not as interactive as the TiVo guide.
