Re: A Network DVR does NOT mean a Hardware DVR will be gone... said by hopeflicker:Yes, they are generally used interchangeably. However, from what i hear a PVR is usually home built I don't think I've heard PVR used specifically for home built or COTS. Dish Network had the DishPVR 5xx, 7xx and 9xx series recorders. |

DVR = Digital Video Recorder
They are the same thing..
Someone said that a DVR just records while the PVR has a guide.. that's not correct.. it's just what people call them.
Dish calls them the PVR but has a guide, so does Tivo and they are called a DVR. What cable has are "DVR" boxes and they most certainly have guides in them.
I asked the question tongue in cheek as I already know what they are. 
I'm also replying here, to your post, as it's the last in the thread to cover the whole set of replies. |
