What are the features and benefits of the Digital Video Recorder?

The Digital Video Recorder (DVR) puts TV on your schedule - so you can watch what you want, when you want to watch it. With the touch of a button on your remote control, it automatically finds and digitally records your favorite shows so you can turn them on at anytime. There's no need to remember to program your VCR, track schedule changes or fuss with videotapes. And you won't miss a minute of your favorite show or the Big Game because you have the power to pause live TV and do your own instant replays. You can even fast forward and rewind your recorded programs. And, unlike other DVR users, Time Warner Cable customers don't need to buy any expensive electronic equipment. With just one, low, monthly price you can watch what you want when you want.
