DIRECTV DVR


The finest DIRECTV programming is yours whenever you want it! Digitally record up to 100 hours of DIRECTV programming without the hassle of video tapes or discs. Enjoy TV like never before! The DIRECTV DVR (Digital Video Recorder) is easy to set up and use and combines the best entertainment with unprecedented customer control and convenience.

The DIRECTV DVR dual tuner allows you to watch one TV show while you record another, record two shows at the same time or, better yet, watch a recorded show while recording two other live shows.

The benefits of DIRECTV DVR service, including each home DVR receiver, are yours for a low monthly fee of $5.99. That's a lot less than taking the family out to the movies! If you subscribe to the PLUS DVR or PLUS HD DVR package, the monthly fee is included, no matter how many DVRs you have.

DVR Scheduler - NEW!

Record shows anytime, anywhere using your computer or mobile phone. This free and easy-to-use new feature allows you to browse DIRECTV's 14-day guide and quickly select the programs you want your DIRECTV DVR to record. The command is automatically sent to your DVR and your favorite programs will be ready to watch when you get home. This exciting feature works with the DIRECTV PLUS DVR receiver and the DIRECTV PLUS HD DVR receiver.

Skip commercials!

Watch your favorite sport or show in a fraction of the time using the 30 Second Slip feature to fast forward 30 seconds of recorded programming (i.e. the commercials) with one key press. Imagine recording the best NFL Sunday Ticket games each week and watching them later while skipping commercials!

Ideal for the modern lifestyle!

You don't have to miss your favorite shows! Say you're at soccer practice or your weekly book group - simply select your show with a few clicks of the remote and your DIRECTV DVR stores them until you're ready. It's that easy. You can also use the Bookmarks feature to mark a place in a TV program that you want to come back to later when you have more time.
