Title: What kind of DVR/PVR (Digital/Personal Video Recorder) do you own/use?
Post by: jtmal0723 on October 11, 2008, 06:15:27 PM

I figured we have a fairly large community here at TWC Today, and some, if not all, have and utilize at least one DVR in their homes so I figured I would poll the community -- What kind of DVR do you have? I will answer and elaborate on my DVR in a bit once things get flowing. If possible, mention make and model numbers...

Used to have an HD DVR in my room, from Comcast, but don't anymore. Will probably get one soon.

No DVR... I still use VCRs, but since I got my tuner two years ago I've been using that much more often to record things.

Yes. "tuners" count as DVRs under the "other" option.

Me, personally, I own a TiVo HD (Series3) that has 2 CableCARDs, which is essentially 2 cable boxes. I've loved it since day one B) I upgraded the drive in it from 160GB to 500GB, thus now I get 70 HD/607 SD hours of programming B)
