DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER (DVR)

The DCT* is equipped with an internal hard drive for DVR functionality,
which provides the ability to record both standard definition TV (SDTV)
and high definition TV (HDTV) programs. Storage time depends on the
video format and the bit rate at which it is received.

What is DVR?

DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder. A standard VCR records and
plays analog video. DVR records and plays digital video. Unlike an
analog cassette tape, the DCT*'s hard drive allows recording and
playback to occur simultaneously.
DVR offers the ability to control your viewing experience by pausing
(time shifting) live TV and providing trick playback modes (pause, fast
forward, slow forward, fast rewind, slow rewind). You may experience a
slight delay between time shifted and live TV.
With the DCT*, you can:
Record Programming
Record hours of TV programming. The total hours of recorded content
will vary based on the storage capacity of your DCT* and type of content
(digital, analog, or HD) being recorded.
Maintain a Personal Program Library
Maintain a personal library of recorded programming, accessed by using
the electronic program guide (EPG).
Control Live TV
Pause, rewind, and fast-forward live TV.
Simultaneously Watch Two Programs
Watch two programs and easily switch between them using the
SWAP
key on your remote control. (Dependent upon program guide support.)
Simultaneous Watch and Record
Record one program in the background while viewing another live
broadcast at the same time.
