Cloud Based DVR

Elite HTS — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:28:55 +0000

Many households especially those with home theaters include a DVR, (PVR’s as they are called in Canada), the one drawback though is the lack of storage for previously recorded shows. Boxee and Aereo have introduced the cloud based DVR to eliminate this issue. For a monthly fee, you can have access to numerous content.

MSRP of $99.00, the Boxee lets the user record an unlimited amount of TV shows through the DVR box’s two tuners. Everything is stored online through Boxee‘s servers. This is not to be mistaken with Boxee‘s app Cloudee, this is an actual DVR box.

This past October, Boxee CEO, Avner Ronen spoke to Bloomberg Televisions “Bloomberg West” regarding the new cloud-based DVR service. Click here to watch the clip.
