Some things are optional when it comes to enjoying your home entertainment while others are not. For example, a television is essentially a requirement, especially if you plan on signing up for satellite TV service. One thing that isn't necessarily a requirement is a surround sound system. While it would help to make for a more engaging experience, it's not required because most TVs have built in speakers. Where does a DVR fit into the picture? Although it's tempting to think that it's optional, you're going to have a hard time convincing yourself that it is once you try it out.
A DVR or digital video recording device is helpful whenever you want to enjoy any kind of programming on your TV, but it's going to be especially helpful when it comes to enjoying a satellite TV subscription. The main reason for this has to do with the fact that a good subscription can give you access to dozens and even hundreds of channels. No matter how specific your preferences might be, you're bound to find a lot of interesting shows when you've got access to that many channels, and they're likely to overlap with each other. If they don't conflict with each other then they'll probably conflict with your work or family schedule. In order to enjoy as much programming as possible, you almost have no choice but to make use of a DVR.
You could also benefit from having a DVR when watching random satellite TV programs too. It's going to give you access to a number of convenient features that will be hard to live without. For example, you'll be able to pause live TV whenever you want. How often have you been watching a show and had the sudden urge to go to the bathroom? Alternatively, someone may call your house phone right in the middle of the most important part of your favorite show. There are dozens of ways you can get pulled away from you television, but you don't have to miss a thing with a DVR. Simply press the pause button, and when you're ready to watch your satellite TV programming again just push play. It's that simple.
You'll also be able to skip past annoying commercials whenever you watch a recording. Commercials can be entertaining sometimes, but they can also keep you in suspense for much longer than you'd prefer. A DVR will allow you to cut to the chase and get back to watching your show again.
A good DVR will also allow you to switch rooms in a seamless fashion. How often have you been watching a recording in your living room when you decide that you want to finish watching it while laying in bed? A good DVR setup will allow you to press stop and continue watching in the next room simply by pressing play. You won't have to reload the recording and seek to the location in it that you were at before. It will just work. Features like this are just the tip of the iceberg too. Ultimately, you're going to discover that the DVR that comes with your satellite TV subscription is simply indispensable.
