PVR

PVR is generally the name for hardware and software that allows you to record TV programs. In practice PVR software does a lot more. It allows you to get the weather-forecast, play DVDs, play music, look at photos, etc. There are consumer-devices, like Philips' TiVo, and PC-based solutions with names like MCE (Windows XP Media Center Edition), GB-PVR, Meedio, OpenHTPC, SageTV, Snapstream's BeyondTV, WinVodio, MythTV, Freevo and others.

We have tips how to optimise your PVR system in the Netherlands. That may give clues for other countries too. You can use our suite of XMLTV tools, to edit the information from the TV guide. And our FreqCopy software, which a.o. was promoted by Hauppauge, maker of the best TV cards in the world.
