-A **[[DVR:activation|DVR subscription]]** can be purchased at our online shop and costs $35 per year. If you've bought a **[[SCRIBE]]** or **[[SERVIO]]** device then you will get a year of service along with the hardware, either as a new customer or added to your existing service. The subscription service includes 14 days of guide data. The subscription also keeps track of your upcoming recording "tasks", helps prevents duplicate recordings, prevents recording programs that you've already watched and wanted deleted, and helps orchestrate all of your DVR storage devices.+  * [[:DVR:activation|$35 USD per year]]

-**Local DVR storage** is where your recordings will be saved. Our DVR doesn't use "the cloud" or remote locations for storing programs, but instead keeps local copies on your home network, allowing you to store them as long as you wish. Your storage device can be an HDHomeRun **[[SCRIBE]]** or **[[SERVIO]]**, a PC, a Mac, a NAS, or an Android TV set top box like an NVIDIA Shield. Because the DVR storage device handles a lot of video data, we strongly recommend using a wired ethernet connection for your recording device, just like you would with an HDHomeRun tuner. +**Local DVR storage** is where your recordings will be saved.

You may add more if you need additional storage, additional multi-recording capabilities, or simply want more redundancy in your set up. Only one storage device is needed to serve your entire network.
