Who has lowest priced DVR?

Question

Digital video recorder or vhs to dvd recorder.

Answer 1

The lowest priced one would be a Dish PVR since it's free. Most DVRs have an up-front cost and then a monthly fee, the Dish PVR only has a monthly fee that's lower than Tivo. They have dual-tuner models and an HD model.

If you want to buy a DVR get one that's stand alone so it will record anything you input to it. That way if you switch from satellite to cable you can continue to use it.

There are brands you can buy other than Tivo but their track record is usually spotty. Some combine a dvd recorder with a hard drive - the problem is most lack the comprehensive program listings that other DVRs provide.

To record from vhs to dvd all you need is a box to transfer the signal or a tv or capture card to interface between your vcr and your PC. Check pricegrabber.com to compare prices or search for any of these products, then check the ratings on Amazon (if possible) before you buy.
