Re: A Network DVR does NOT mean a Hardware DVR will be gone...

PVR = Personal Video Recorder
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.

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.
