Change the Way You Watch TV

DVR makes it easy to watch TV on your terms. The Explorer® 8300™ Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is the simple way to take control over your TV – and your life. You take control because DVR lets you decide what’s on TV and when. So there’s no more putting off the things you need to do, just because there’s a show on TV you want to watch. Just think what DVR can do for you:

•Never miss a minute of your favorite movie or the big game. Simply pause the live action and play again when you’re ready. You can even rewind what you missed.

•Two of your favorite shows on at the exact same time? Simple. Just record one program while you watch the other. You can even record two programs at the same time while watching a previously recorded program. Your VCR can’t do that.

•Is your favorite sports team having an away game and you can’t go. Imagine being able to record it and watch it at a more convenient time.

Don’t miss another minute of the TV shows you love!
