With the DVR you can actually store hours and hours of programs that you have recorded off of live television, and if you ever run out of space on the DVR you can simply delete old programs to make room for the new ones. If you compare the DVR to the old and almost entirely obsolete VCR (or Video Cassette Recorder) you will really be able to see how far television recording technology has come in the past few years.

The VCR has always been a fun but frustrating device. Due to the primitive technology used in developing the VCR there were always many problems in it's execution of even the most basic of tasks. For instance, when you wanted to record a show that would air when you were out and about or at work, it had the option to set a timer for recording. The timer itself was a great idea, but many VCR users found that it was not always easy to set up and or it sometimes failed to work altogether even when set up properly. Another problem of the VCR was the speed settings. The old VCR had two speed settings generally, the fast speed setting and the slow speed setting. One setting was meant to get better quality but it took up A LOT more of your tape, and the other setting was meant to save cassette tape space but record at a much lower quality. Many frustrated VCR users found this whole process to be a very confusing one. At the very best, when a viewer made a mistake based on speeds they would record their entire program just at a much lower quality than they would have liked. The most common problem however came for most who tried to save as much cassette tape space as possible. This would be when it was recorded at the higher quality speed and the viewer would end up with only the last half of his or her program recorded!
