	Digital video recorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The personal video recorder (PVR) or digital personal video recorder, is a consumer electronics device that records television shows to a hard disk in digital format.
		Many satellite and cable companies are incorporating DVR functions into their set-top box, such as with DirecTiVo, Motorola 6xxx from Comcast, Moxi Media Center by Digeo (available through Charter, Adelphia, Sunflower, Bend Broadband, and soon Comcast and other cable companies), or Sky Plus.

	Digital couch potatoes, arise!
		PVRs are also known as DVRs, Digital Video Recorders, but that covers digital tape recorders as well, which PVRs aren't.
		PVRs still have pathetic market penetration here in Australia, because there are no local commercial EPG services, and no company seems to have any plans to provide them.
		PVRs give you time back, assuming you don't fall victim to their siren call and end up watching lots more TV than you used to.

	What is PVR? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Short for personal video recorder, a generic term for a device that is similar to a VCR but records television data in digital format as opposed to the VCR’s analog format.
		PVRs have all of the same functionality of VCRs (recording, playback, fast forwarding, rewinding, pausing) plus the ability to instantly jump to any part of the program without having to rewind or fast forward the data stream.
		A PVR is essentially made up of two elements: the device that stores its hardware elements, such as the hard disk drive, power supply and buses, and the software in the form of a subscription service that provides programming information and the ability to encode the data streams.

		A personal video recorder (PVR) is an interactive TV recording device, in essence a sophisticated set-top box with recording capability (although it is not necessarily kept on top of the television set).
		Because the PVR can record a program and replay it almost immediately with a slight time lag, what seem to be live programs can be manipulated as though they were recorded programs (which they actually are).
		The PVR encodes an incoming video data stream as MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 and stores it on a hard disk within a device that looks much like a VCR.

	TechnoFILE Looks at Canadian PVR's
		PVR’s are the VCR for the new millennium, using a hard disk drive to record TV programming instead of a videocassette, and offering more TV viewing flexibility than a VCR.
		Otherwise, Canadians interested in having a PVR have had to rely on some PC-based solutions such as ATI’s All-In-Wonder Radeon 8500 video card family, which includes a software-based PVR with its hardware, and a Sony Vaio that has PVR technology bundled in its cornucopia of goodies.
		PVR’s are here to stay, one wonders what people are supposed to do with their existing libraries of VHS tapes once the old VCR has packed it in and the PVR is all that’s left.

	Turns of Phrase: PVR
		Some of the systems let you skip the commercials, are capable of learning your viewing habits, and allow you to pause live programmes temporarily while, say, you answer the telephone.
		PVRs are interactive—as they play the selected program they also collect data about viewing habits that advertisers can use to target commercials at specific audiences.
		This is why PVR fans remain steadfast even after the unit fails to record that crucial episode of their favorite show.

		In any PVR product, expect to find these standard programming features: instant pausing of live TV, time-shifting, point-and-click scheduling and retrieval of recorded broadcasts, advertisement skipping, and panning and zooming video.
		Typically, your PVR software will also extract data from the EPG, making it easier to catalog your video archives (for example, you can retrieve everything recorded last Friday, or all the sitcoms you stored, or all the recorded Leno shows in which Robin Williams appeared).
		PVR is all about choice and customization, and doing your homework first will pay off in setting up a PVR that will work for you.

	PVR Shipments Tripled In 2003 - Connected Home News - Designtechnica
		Despite an almost continuous stream of rave reviews from satisfied PVR users over the past 5 years, most consumers still failed to see why they needed to hook up yet another set top box to their TV set.
		However, according to the high-tech market research firm, the PVR market hit its stride in the past year, as worldwide annual unit shipments tripled and increasing numbers of consumers became aware of the benefits of time-shifting TV programming.
		Many pay-TV service providers, especially in North America, are rolling out PVR products to increase subscriber revenues and to keep their current customers from defecting to competitive service providers.” In-Stat/MDR expects that these two market drivers will continue to spur growth for PVR products over the next several years.

		Screenfonts for captioning, subtitling, and PVRs are, in broad terms, a disaster.
		For the latter idea to work, the PVR would have to decode its own closed captions – trivial compared to what else it does, but they’re altogether likely to screw up the fonts.
		I’m working on the big PVR captioning and audio-description postings here, and as of last night (note well: February 23) the box is going haywire.

	Macintosh Digital Hub: EyeTV Review
		A PVR is a computer: shows are digitized into MPEG format and stored on an internal hard drive.
		EyeTV wouldn't be a PVR if it didn't allow you to pause and scan forward and backward within a show.
		Computer-based PVRs require a separate Web connection for the program guide, the shows they record devour hard drive space, and the devices are difficult if not impossible to connect to a television set.
