RentMyDVR is committed to bring you great TV for you to watch whenever you want.
It all started way back in 2002 or something. I was working way too much and as I got home from
work around two o'clock in the morning i wanted to rewind in front of some nice comedy show on the TV.
But at that time of day there was not much on TV and those were the days when the TiVo didn't exist.
At least not in Sweden (and it still doesn't)
I came up with an idea of having remote controlled video recorders on the Internet that you could use
for remote-recording the shows you wanted. I even got a patent for a solution for based on that idea.
Sometimes around 2004 I realized that there already existed lots of DVRs out there that you could Rent from people. So I started to develop the RentMyDVR Site and launched the first version in 2005.
We want to be able to watch good quality TV shows that has been produced by professionals.
We also believe that in order to get high quality TV shows we must be prepared to pay the
producers for the work they put in.
Otherwise we will be left with the amateur material available on site like youtube.
We want to contribute with that business model to solve that issue, that why this service is not free.
A fare amount of the income we make is therefore sent back to the TV companies that produce these great shows.
During the years the number of member on our site has increased which has given us an opportunity to full-fill our mission.
