Personal Video Recorders
A new generation of devices can record up to 80 hours of television onto a built-
in hard disk drive. This does so much more than the conventional VCR. You can pause
live TV when you need to take a break, then resume watching exactly where you left off.
So you're always free to take a phone call or take a trip to the kitchen. You can "rewind"
live TV and repeat a line of dialog that you might have missed. And you can have the
recorder capture up to 80 hours of TV shows, ready for viewing whenever you choose!
You can even rate TV shows as good or bad, and the recorder will "learn" your
preferences. The recorder can then automatically analyze the schedule of upcoming
shows and suggest programs with the actors, genres and subject matter you've liked in the
past. It's like having your own, personal TV critic on hand, ready to make the most of
every minute you spend viewing!
