Broadband Ready

You can either choose to connect to the ReplayTV Service through your high speed broadband Internet connection or just plug in your regular phone line and connect to ReplayTV's built-in analog modem. Your choice.

Commercial Advance®*

You can now choose to playback your recorded shows without the commercials using Commercial Advance. Don't worry, you can still watch recorded shows with the commercials, if you really want to, and you can still use QuickSkip™ to manually jump over them in 30-second increments.

* Under controlled test conditions with major network daytime and prime time broadcasts, approximately 96% of intraprogram commercials are eliminated. Actual results may vary and will depend upon the quality of television reception and the nature of the program recorded.

Show Organizer™

You'll have more storage space than ever before, so we've improved the Replay Guide to help you sort and access all those recorded shows easily with Show Organizer. Now you can store Barney and other related shows into the Kids category. It's even customizable, allowing you to create your own folders such as Dad's Movies or Cooking.

Conflict Resolver

If you have two conflicting shows set to record, a message will appear on the screen and ask you which show you want to record. Simply select the show you want to record and you are done. The other show will get postponed. It's that easy!

Progressive Output

If you have a High Definition ready TV (HDTV), the ReplayTV 4500 is for you. With the 480P Progressive output, you'll get richer, cleaner images. Improved color purity, color detail as well as a reduction in color noise and NTSC artifacts are the benefits of progressive scanning.

Digital Audio Out

Now you can get even better sound by connecting ReplayTV's new digital audio output to your sound system!

RF Output

Besides the 480P Progressive output and Digital Audio output, the ReplayTV 4500 now includes RF output. Compared to the competition, we offer the maximum output configurations. So no matter what TV you have, you will be able to connect the ReplayTV 4500 to it.

Parental Control

The new ReplayTV 4500 offers parental control. You can block shows that exceed your maximum rating and you can even block shows with no ratings for maximum protection. You can rest assured that ReplayTV will block offensive shows at the same time recording the shows that you want to record.

Backlit Remote Control

TV/DVR Button

If you are an analog cable customer, boy, do we have something for you! With the ReplayTV 4500, we have a built-in TV/DVR switch which is similar to the TV/VCR switch on VCRs. This allows you to record a program on the ReplayTV 4500 while watching another show using your TV's Tuner.
