Question

What does hard drive mean? all i want to do is record and play films and programmes from TV.Why is there so much Jargon

Answer 1

Hard Drive is " like memory "

So instead of using dvd to record on, you just record on the memory. Saves having to format disc, and find one when in a rush.

You can also recored from the hard drive to dics at a later date.

The hard drive also always you to edit out the adverts, so you get the complete film / proggramme unspoilt.

hope this clears it up
