[[Category: | '''Category:Personal video recorder''' — this [[Special:Categories|category]] contains wikis whos' subject matter is the specific {{tag|technology}} known as the '''personal video recorder''', commonly abbreviated '''PVR'''. | ||
[[Category: | |||
PVRs are used for the recording of 'digital {{tag|television}} broadcasting' ({{tag|DVB}}) {{tag|video}}, {{tag|audio}} and {{tag|multimedia}} output. | |||
PVRs are the modern replacement for the original VHS and/or Betamax video cassette recorder (VCR), and the later DVD recorders; and instead of using an ejectable/removable recording media such as magnetic cassette tape or optical [[:Category:DVD|DVD]] to record video; record their media directly onto an integral hard-disk drive (HDD). PVRs are ideally suited to digital television {{tag|broadcasting}} (DVB); either terrestrial (DVB-T) via a rooftop aerial, or satellite (DVB-S) via a wall- or floor-mounted satellite dish – in-so-much that the broadcast signal is transmitted in the {{tag|digital}} format, ''and'' the recording method is also entirely digital – the advantage being no quality is lost (as would be the case in an analogue to digital conversion or vice-versa). | |||
