DVR is the most wonderful thing to happen to television since color. It gives you the ability to be more productive, or frankly, to just do more of what you want to do outside of TV watching. I know sitting and watching your favorite show is awesome, but it’s even better when you can watch it without thinking about the other daily tasks that need to get done – like vacuuming, vacuuming sucks, pun intended, but it sucks a little bit less when you attain more free time from DVR. The many time-saving features that DVR offers makes it a no-brainer to sign up for the service. For example:
- Record your favorite shows and watch them any time.
- Pause or stop your recording and finish later in case something comes up.
- Skip through commercials to cut down on the show’s run time.
- Record multiple shows at once in case two things you want to watch are on at the same time.
