A personal video recorder (PVR) is an electronic device used to record media digitally.This is a generic term, and can be used to describe portable media players, stand-alone units, and combination units. The PVR is also known as the digital video recorder or DVR. The first PVR was launched at the 1999 Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show™. The PVR product offerings were called ReplayTV® and TiVo®. The ReplayTV® won the prize for the Best in Show for video entries, but the TiVo® was a larger commercial success. The recorder is connected to a media input device, such as a satellite or cable box and the television. These units are really just large hard drives with file management software and a remote control is used to record shows. The software provides a user interface, scheduling, playback and deleting functions. After the PVR was first developed, options such as commercial skipping, video streaming and expanded Internet capabilities were released to further enhanced the unit. Pausin

A personal video recorder (PVR) is a satellite receiver that has a built-in hard drive, similar to the type you might have in your computer for storing data. With a PVR you can record satellite programmes at the touch of a button. Both Sky and Freesat offer a built in hard drive.
