I almost forgot to mention the other new gadget I ordered recently. It is the Dish Network 921 PVR. It is the Ultimate Personal Video Recorder. If you have never heard of a PVR, where have you been. Basically it lets you record and pause live TV as well as record shows while you are out. If you have seen a Tivo, you have seen a PVR.
This is the latest and greatest PVR made (well when they start making it). It has a number of features that are completely new to PVR's. It has the ability to Record 80 Hours of standard definition TV but more importantly it can record 40 hours of HD TV. In addition to recording HD, what makes this box special is how many boxes it can completely replace. For me, it will replace my Satellite Receiver, PVR, and HDTV Tuner and seamlessly integrate them into one simple to use interface. Unfortunately, since I pre-ordered this, it may be a couple of months before it actually ships, but hopefully it will be worth the wait. |
