It is the digital signals that the television uses to give the movie on the screen. The screen of these high definition televisions have more number of pixels than the traditional television working on the analog signals. Due to this the picture that is produced on the screen is more sharp and clear as compared to that formed in the screen of traditional televisions working on analog signals.

By multicasting the broadcaster is able to broadcast the programs to different viewers at the same time. It is like storing several files on one single DVD. The broadcaster similarly is able to broadcast several programs on one channel.

The broadcaster or the cable system operator can cast data on the channel along with the programs. Thus it gives the advantage to the cable operator to display different type of information which may be related to the price changes in the merchandise store or the list of the programs that are about to be shown.

But just check the capacity of the DVR to record the live TV. They come in different capacity and you can buy them on the basis of your choice and requirement.
