TiVo, a brand of DVR, allows subscribers to record their favorite TV shows and watch them when they want to. You can choose to watch the program any time you like or delete it to make room for a different program. With the right setup, you can even transfer the recording to another kind of media such as a VCR or DVD recorder. Learn all about how TiVo works.
A DVD works exactly the same way as a CD, but it can hold a lot more information -- about 4.7 gigabytes (about seven times as much as a CD). DVDs can hold more data than CDs because the bumps are smaller and the tracks are closer together, giving DVDs more storage space. Learn more about how a DVD works.
