Personal Video Recorders (PVRs) are devices used to record television programs to disk drives rather than to tape or DVD. Find out what features and technologies are now available.

Many vendors now manufacture products called PVRs, DVRs, HDRs, PTRs and PVSs.  The cost of these digital video recorders continue to tumble as new technologies and features hit the marketplace.

HDTV or "hidef" will soon replace the standard definition analog broadcasts that we have known since the dawn of TV in the 1950s.  Learn about HD technology and PVR compatibility.

The Internet provides an alternate channel for accessing audio video productions.  Live and on-demand webcasts now compete with over-the-air, coaxial cable and satellite broadcasts for viewers.
