Hard Drive Recorder

My husband is good working on computers and if I have problem with my computer I do not worry too much because he is able to fix right away. Sometimes he tells me about hard drive but never about a hard drive recorder is this the first time I heard about one. As you may know the hard drive recorder is a device which will record shows and movies from your TV to a hard drive rather than to a tape or a disc. You can get a better picture and it is easier to use compare to disc and video tapes.
