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 (Video Cassette Recorder) 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.
