Alternatively called a digital VCR and PVR (personal video recorder), DVR is short for digital video recorder. A DVR is a home electronic device similar to the VCR that enables users to record their favorite shows to a computer hard drive. What makes DVRs increasingly popular is their ease of use and the ability for a user to record their favorite shows and watch them anytime.
