Digital Recorders

A digital recorder, or digital TV recorder, is basically a digital set top box that has a built in hard drive making it possible for you to record your favourite TV programmes.

This technology has left the VCR video recorder obsolete with the ease of use and convenience in the fact there’s no need for tapes or disks. Many of these products also provide an on screen channel guide so you can select in advance programmes you want it to record.

If there is a TV series you want to record services such as the Sky+ box have the option of recording a series meaning you don’t have to record each individual episode.

Benefits from a Digital Recorder System

Some of the benefits of having a digital recorder system include:

• Being able to pause live TV – The systems can make it possible for you to pause live TV when going to get a drink, or answering the phone you don’t have to miss any of you programme.
• Digital quality recordings – Anything you record will be in digital quality because its recorded directly from your digital TV and is stored digitally there is no loss of quality.
• Twin tuner – This is where the digital recorder can cope with receiving two digital TV channels, meaning you can be watching one channel and recording another.
