- CydeWeys 10y agoAren't DVRs kind of a dying product category? They're only relevant if you have a cable subscription, and most people putting media PCs in their living room are relying on streaming services.

- rch 10y agoEven cable subscriptions include DVR-like features.
- matthewn 10y ago> They're only relevant if you have a cable subscription This is news to those of us who use DVRs to record over-the-air HD broadcasting. My homebuilt DVR is what makes NOT having a cable subscription workable.
