Introduction
A DVR, or a digital video recorder, is a consumer device that helps record video in a digital format on a memory stick. Most modern television setup boxes in the United States come with a pre-installed DVR device in it. The DVR helps you pause and record live television, whether it is your favorite comedy or a TV football game. The DVR devices also let you program a specific time to start the recording.
Step 1
Once you set that up, you do not have to be near the TV or the DVR when the program starts. The recording will start automatically at the specified time. You may also program the DVR to record a particular program every day at a specific time. The DVR will keep recording the programs on the specified channel every day until the place in the memory stick is full. While most DVRs can record several hours’ worth of program, you must delete some old recordings to create space in the memory stick.
