DVR
DVR is an acronym for Digital Video Recorder. Originally popularized by video recording companies TiVo, and the now defunct ReplayTV, DVRs are a way to timeshift recordings (typically TV programs) for later playback. DVRs have moved away from the standalone box model, and are now largely distributed by cable and sattelite providers as an integrated part of their set top boxes. Typically users pay extra for the DVR service, and users have the option to subscribe to entire series of shows rather than scheduling individual recordings.
