阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
Today most people can’t live without a television set! During the 1980s and 1990s the quality of both pictures and sound became very, very good. The first VCR was introduced in 1977 in the USA. With VCRs, people could record their favourite programs, but the quality was not perfect. The invention of the CD and the DVD during the 1990s produced a better quality of both pictures and sound. The first DVD player was introduced in 1997 in the USA. At that time you could not record programs with DVD players, but today DVD recorders are available.
During recent years, people began to develop new ways to record television programs with machines that had memories. This way your television set can save films, almost like a computer. This new invention is called TiVo, and it has become popular in the USA. With TiVo, television sets are similar to computers, but at the same time computers are similar to television sets. With a computer you can now pay to download (下载) films and TV programs from the Internet and watch them on the computer screen. In the future, computers will probably take the place of television sets.
Living rooms with large - screen TV sets and big speakers (扬声器) are like small cinemas at home and they are called “home movie theatres”. It’s fun to watch movies at home or in the cinema, but some people think that cinemas are still the best places to watch movies.
