What does my DVR do?
DVR is a Digitial Video Recorder, and what it allows you to do, is record TV shows, primarily. It also allows you to record any moving video image like from a survellience camera. DVR's do wonderful things. They let you watch your TV shows when you want to watch them. They allow you to skip past commercials, if you want to, and in general, allow you to get more use out of TV. Pausing live TV is the ability to actually stop what looks like live TV so you can go attend to something else, and the beauty of that is now you can go answer the phone, go to the restroom, answer the front door without missing your favorite moment on TV. What is actually happening is that you're streaming your video to your DVR, and it is recording while you're watching, so that when you hit pause, it continues to go ahead and stream and record, and when you hit play again, it's actually playing it back from the hard disk itself. There are a number of people out there that in order to skip commercials will actually start the show that they want to watch, hit pause, go off and do something for 10 minutes, or 5 minutes, come back and then start watching their show again. Why? Because that means their TV program -- they're trailing their TV program by 5 or 10 minutes, so they can fast forward through their commercials, and end up watching the TV show, without having to sit through commercials.
