The evolution of television viewing brought about the technology of Satellite TV, delivering a far more superior picture and audio quality as compared to ordinary cable television. Already offering a Satellite service that showcases over 255 TV channels, DirecTV doesn’t stop at just that.  To further enhance the viewing experience of its clients, DirecTV released its own dual satellite tuner cum High Definition Digital Video Recorder to compete with similar products provided by other Satellite TV providers.

The DirecTV HD DVR Plus, combines the technology of Digital Video Recording (DVR) with a high definition (HD) tuner and a standard definition (SD) tuner. This device also has an over-the-air tuner, increasing its viewing and programming flexibility.  Further, DirecTV HD DVR has an ability to operate any two tuners simultaneously, enabling users to record two programs at the same time while watching a previously recorded program. Furthermore, it is possible to record a live program while watching another live feed using this device, as well as rewind or pause live programming. But that’s not all.

Although the difference isn’t that significant, the DirecTV HD DVR has a bigger storage capacity as compared to other HD and SD satellite receivers. It can store up to 30 hours of high definition or up to 200 hours of standard definition programming despite having the usual 250GB hard drive. Additionally, another smashing feature in this satellite receiver is the Season Pass option, which will enable you to automatically record selected TV programs during their airing schedules. You can even search program listings and create wish lists using selected keywords (by title, by actor, by genre, etc.)

All in all, the DirecTV HD DVR is one of the best high definition DVRs today because of its picture quality. Also, because the use of this device is exclusive to DirecTV subscribers, there isn’t any signal degradation since the receiver records raw signal feeds from DirecTV itself. The receiver’s resolution control is even flexible enough to find the best resolution for your monitor (1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i). However, the company remains focused on improving this product, especially in terms of storage capacity, networking, and archiving.
