Philips calls the
Philips TiVo HDR112 Personal TV Receiver
a TiVolution. We call it digital time shifting without the hassles of buying
blank VHS tapes and fiddling with the complicated program modes of a VCR.
Unlike analog VCRs,
Philips TiVo HDR112
receiver/server encodes and decodes in the digital domain and stores
compressed audio-video data to a computer hard disk. When you're ready to watch a preselected program, the
Philips TiVo HDR112 Personal TV Receiver
retrieves it upon command from a list of shows you've recorded.
What one customer had to say - "I've owned my Tivo for a month now and
couldn't imagine not having it! I've completely stopped using my
VCRs to record TV. In the past month, I've change my cable service
over to digital and reconfiguring the Tivo system was a snap. This
is the best electronics purchase I've ever made..."
