What’s the difference between a cable DVR and On Demand TV?
A cable DVR lets you choose in advance to record TV shows, sports games and other programs. You tell the DVR what to record. With On Demand, you don’t have to do anything in advance. Instead, the cable company provides a menu of hundreds of Hollywood hit movies and TV shows for you to choose from. You simply aim your remote control at the menu, choose a title or a show, and hit play. Lots of people who have DVRs also use On Demand TV.
