This all-new Digital Cable Ready LG plasma boasts the ability to store up to 13 hours straight of digital high-definition programming or if you are still among those who prefer standard definition TV programming, LG plasma DVR can get 63 hours of storage for that.

LG Plasma DVR — A New Breed

By combining HDTV recording with the latest breed of HD displays in the market, the LG PY2DR has truly upped the HD experience up to a new level.
