If you are still watching cable television, you are most likely still dealing with regular hassles of owning a cable TV package. Some of the typical problems that you are probably already familiar with include things like bad reception, low and few programming package options, small programming packages (very few channels), bad customer service, and virtually no parental controls offered through the cable company. If you are still recording all of your favorite programs using the old fashioned Video Cassette Recorder or VCR than you are most likely still dealing with it's problems as well.

Typical problems people experience with the now obsolete VCR device have had to do mostly with storage space of VHS (another term for Video Cassette Tapes) tapes, the recording timers, and the speed settings. Because of the awkward shape and size of VHS tapes it is a problem for most people to find space for all of the tapes that eventually get filled up with their favorite television programs. Most people never watch their old VHS tapes anyway, and they end up looking pretty unattractive stacked up high on the bookshelves. Wouldn't it be great to be able to actually record your favorite shows temporarily (but with the option to store them as long as you like) on a digital hard drive? You can do just that with the DVR or Digital Video Recorder. The problem with the VCR's speeds was the difficulty in setting specific the correct speed before recording each time. If you set the wrong speed before you recorded or forgot to set the correct speed before hand you could end up recording only the first half of your favorite television program. This problem is solved by the DVR as well considering that the DVR does not record in speeds at all. In fact, because in conjunction with TiVo (also offered for free along side the DVR through DirecTV) television programs are automatically saved in a temporary spot so that you can rewind television at any given point. This way you will be able to record programs on �permanent� space that have aired even hours earlier.

No more video cassette tapes, no more timers, and no more speeds to worry about setting when you have the DVR and TiVo offered free with a free installation through DirecTV.
