Personal Video Recorder (PVR)

A device that routes video or audio from one device to another device.

Contains an internal recorder and player that records and plays video without the use of a removable tape or disc. Typically PVRs can pause, rewind, instantly replay, and play slow-motion for live or recorded TV. Examples of PVR service providers are TiVo, ReplayTV, UltimateTV, and Keen PM. Many satellite providers also provide PVR services and have PVRs included in some of their satellite receivers.
