What Is The Best Dvr On The Market? I Have Cable With Every Hd Channel Available?
I am looking to find out what is the best and most feature rich DVR on the market. I would like to have features like commercial skip, ability to record multiple HD programs at once, easy to use and if possible the ability to record my programs to DVD. Do they make DVR/HD DVD player/DVD recorder all in one players? THANKS, give me a good thorough answer… I appreciate it!

Hi jt2002champ,
We prefer TiVo because of simplicity of use. The schedule is always correct because it is updated every day. I can program TiVo to record from out of town over the Internet. TiVo learns what you like and recommends shows that you might like. Often times we never would have known they were on. You can program an entire season of a given series with a single click and TiVo never forgets. You can tell TiVo you like someone or something and it will locate shows for you. For example if you tell it you like John Wayne it will watch for and record anything he is on.
With my series 2 and series 3 TiVo’s I can transfer recordings to my computer, edit them if desired then record them to a DVD.
You can also allow TiVo to share pictures and music from your computer. It will play the music and slide shows on your TV.
I could go on and on about TiVo. There is one downside and that is the monthly (you can pay yearly if you want) fee.
The series 3 TiVo and the HD Tivo are your two HD choices. Both record two channels at once and both will take a cablecard so you don’t need a special tuner box for them.
To learn all about TiVo check their web site here – https://www3.tivo.com

The TiVo Community Store often has good bargains for TiVo’s or accessories. Check them for current pricing along with your local Best Buy – http://store.tivocommunity.com/merchant.…
You need either a phone line or internet connection for TiVo to download software updates and program information.
I hope this helps you make the best decision.

Every DVR out there will do what you want with the exception of burning to disc. That is certainly possible but requires a great deal of computer knowhow. If you’re curious have a look at
