Watching television hasn’t been the same again, ever since we got the ability to pause it on the go, and resume without missing a second of the Live programming.
Made possible by the Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) which the Direct To Home (DTH) companies started offering a couple of years back. However, last year, these devices got the HD capability, keeping in mind that most popular sports, GEC and movie channels have either gone HD, or planning to make the transition soon.
Two of the biggest players in the market, Dishtv and Tata Sky have their own HD DVR offerings. After speaking with a lot of customers, we got the feeling that a lot of confusion prevails about what the two services offer. Even more so - how is it different from a standard definition (SD) box or a simple HD set-top box.
In a nutshell, the DVRs allow you to record live television, for viewing at a later date. They have attached storage devices that store the content. With this storage space available, the service providers can also offer services like movie downloads and time-shift television - watch the previous 5 days programming of a particular channel.
To help you make a more informed decision, here is a comparison of the two services - what they offer, how much do they cost and where one has the advantage over the other.
