Radio Sharks - The Digital Radio Recorder

TiVo and other digital video recorders or Dvrs have been colse to since 1999. But Digital Radio Recorders, or Drrs?

When compared to what was complicated in putting the first TiVo devices together, developing a digital radio recorder would seem to be a fairly easy process. perhaps what was missing is any economic impetus to interest electronics manufacturers because there was assuredly no rush to get a digital radio recorder into the hands of the listening public.

Griffin Technology and radio Shark

But in 2004, Griffin Technology introduced their Radio Shark, a digital radio recorder which not only turned any Mac of Pc into an Am/Fm receiver; it enabled the listener to description the radio broadcasts in real time.

Like TiVo, the Radio Shark digital radio recorder had a time-shift recording feature which would let the user pause during a live broadcast to return to an earlier segment and catch up if they had been interrupted, and it also let people schedule recording for a later time.

But the Radio Shark digital recorder did not merely record; it had a middle point preset function which could lock in the user's favorite stations with a mouse click; and it allowed easy scanning and tuning of new stations.

The radio Shark digital radio recorder linked to the Pc straight through its Usb port, from which it was powered, and looked like the shark's dorsal fin for which it was named. The fin was the digital radio recorder's antenna and could plainly be moved colse to to supply the best reception. And any broadcast saved on the radio Shark digital radio recorder could be transferred to an iPod or audio interchange file compatible Mp for later listening.

Radio Shark 2

The radio Shark digital radio recorder industrialized a following, so Griffin Technology continued to create the concept, and discontinued it in late 2006 in favor of the radio Shark 2 digital radio recorder. The radio Shark 2's improvements comprise a Usb prolongation cable, allowing the receiver to be settled up to eight feet from the Pc; an more considerable radio receiver chip; an on-screen tuner which closely mirrors a former radio dial; and the increasing of Internet radio to the Am/Fm menu. Internet radio opens up your digital radio recorder possibilities to international broadcasting.

The radio Shark2 digital radio recorder also has software which provides users with all the instructions they need to master time-shift recording, middle point choice and tuning, and optional antenna prolongation for those who live in poor reception areas. And, at 49.95, sown from the .95 of the former radio Shark digital radio receiver, it is very attractively priced!
