Control

One of the biggest benefits of the DVR is that it gives you the control to watch your favorite TV shows at your convenience and on your clock. It also allows you to watch a television show while a different channel is recording. The DVR allows you to record hours of TV programs and movies so you can view them later. It also allows you to set an automatic scheduled on specific shows so that you do not have to keep setting a recording every time the show airs.
Bypassing Ads
-
Once a TV program has been recorded on a DVR, it allows you to bypass the advertisements and commercials while you are watching it on your own schedule. DVR allows you to watch your television shows like a DVD or a movie–with no commercial interruption. A DVR also allows you to pause the program, rewind or fast forward through anything you want.

Security Surveillance
-
DVR is becoming a popular tool for stores to keep surveillance video. Instead of dealing and storing videotapes, a DVR allows a store to record security surveillance digitally and free up physical space and storage where videotapes previously have been kept. Businesses no longer have to switch out tapes repeatedly if they use a DVR to record store security.
Sharing Media
-
DVRs can be hooked up to your home computer to allow digital media sharing between your network and TV. When the DVR is hooked up through a USB cable to your computer, you can view digital photos and other media directly on your television set. You can also share digital TV programs between DVRs if you have more than one in your household. In addition, you can remotely schedule your DVR recordings through your computer if it is hooked up to the home network.
