If you are purchasing a DVR system directly from your cable or satellite provider, you'll probably reap the same great rewards as TiVo but at a fraction of the price. However, more recently a cheap alternative has come about for DVRs, which provides all the great options and functionality, but can be done right on your home computer. Here's how to access DVR through your computer.

  1. If you decide to convert your computer into a DVR, there are some key steps involved that will lead you on your path to enjoy DVR. The first step is to purchase a TV tuner for your computer, which will allow you to run your cable or satellite to your computer. When purchasing a TV tuner, you'll probably be presented with a program and instructions on how to set everything up for DVR. Know that there are many, many brands of TV tuners available on the market, and they have been getting constantly cheaper as the technology becomes more widely used.

  2. Windows media player supports TV tuner cards, and is an excellent way of setting up DVR. Windows media edition comes equipped with many video options, so if you are interested in making a computer your DVR and media hub, windows media edition is well worth the upgrade or purchase.

  3. There are two very important things to consider when converting your PC to a DVR. Video files can take up a huge amount of space on a PC; if you only have a 40GB hard drive, you are going to be pressing your system, and are going to have to constantly delete things to make room for using DVR. A hard drive any smaller is definitely not recommended for DVR. However, you can easily purchase storage options such as external hard drives to remedy this problem.

    The second thing to consider is that if you aren't running a very powerful PC, or don't have a dual core processor, you probably won't want to be doing anything when your DVR is recording. If you are trying to do a bunch of heavy media or gaming on your computer while it is recording DVR, you'll probably notice poor video quality with glitches and pauses, and audio feedback that gets out of sink. This means that if you do plan to use DVR when you'll need your PC for system intensive programs, you are probably best to buy a separate DVR, or find a dedicated computer just for DVR.
