Personal Video Recorder
A digital video recorder (DVR), sometimes referred to by the merchandising term personal video recorder (PVR), is a consumer electronics device or application software that records video in a digital format to a disk drive, USB flash drive, SD memory card, SSD or other local or networked mass storage device.
The term includes set-top boxes (STB) with direct to disk recording facility, portable media players (PMP) with recording, TV gateways with network and local recordings, recorders (PMR) as camcorders that record onto Secure Digital memory cards and software for personal computers which enables video capture and playback to and from a hard disk drive. A television set with built-in digital video-recording facilities was introduced by LG in 2007, followed by other manufacturers.

    Question Using LG UJ630V 43" with Humax 2000T PVR

    I have an LG UJ630V 43" which I use in conjunction with a Humax PVR. I've seen many comments about the picture quality of this TV. Watching broadcast TV on the SD channels it is difficult to get a good picture, it often lacks brightness and colours are 'milky'. However, the picture does improve...

    Sky v BT PVR

    I have a Freeview BT PVR at present which I am effectively renting off BT. I have "an old" sky+ HD PVR. I presume I will get more and perhaps better "Free" channels with the sky box, as it is from a satellite than the BT PVR which is terrestriaL ? Is it possible to record from apps such as...

    Question Panasonic DVD/PVR recording

    With my old Panasonic PVR I could record on DVD or the PVR and transfer recordings between them. It having just died I bought a new Panasonic DMR-PWT550EB assuming that it would function in the same way, but it appears not to be the case. Am I missing something in the instructions or settings or...

    Question New PVR needed but NOT another Humax

    Hi all, a very long time member here. Things ain't what they used to be, are they? 😏 I am now looking for my 3rd or 4th PVR in nearly 20 years. However, I do not think I will be able to find one as good, or at least be able to do what either of the two TVonics DTR-Z500HD Freeview HD Recorders I...

    Panasonic PVR randomly turning on LG G3 TV

    This is an odd and complex problem and I wonder whether anyone else has experienced it and can offer a fix or workaround I haven't thought of. I apologise for the lengthy post. I have a Sony AV receiver with various inputs, all output over a single HDMI to a new LG G3 TV. The problem is, when I...

    Question Android TV with PVR

    Hi guys, My old man currently has an approximately 15 year old Sony LCD TV, a combo Freeview/Freesat receiver and a Firestick in his setup. He is finding it really difficult to getting to grips with all the remotes and switching between each device. With Black Friday coming up I was thinking...

    Freesat PVR/DVD combo - where's the future headed?

    I've had a lot of fun reading through some fantastic content on this forum and I wonder whether members can help me with the best way forward with my dilemma. I live in West Cumbria, which was the "testing ground" for changing to digital TV, back in the Noughties. Back then I opted for Sky, but...

    Advice on the right PVR?

    PVR prices

    I am looking for a new Freeview recorder and the two obvious candidates are the Manhattan T3-R and the Humax Aura which both have good reviews. However, since I started looking for one, the price of the Manhattan has gone up and up while the Humax has remained the same price. When I first looked...

    Would buying an android TV and an android pvr be duplicating functions?

    Hi, my BT Youview Set Top Box has broken, so I need to replace it. But the router is in another room so I think I'll need a pvr that uses wifi and am thinking of the "HUMAX Aura Android TV 4K Freeview Play Recorder with Google Assistant and Chromecast - 2TB". My current TV I bought back in...

    Question Humax PVR and Sonos ARC...No Sound

    Hi all, I don't suppose anyone would know why I'm not getting any sound from my Sonos Arc connected to my Humax PVR via the (Sony's) TV's EARC HDMI inputs. Everything else works, 4K Player, streaming etc, but nothing from the PVR, picture but no sound. The PVR is getting on a bit now, but its...

    Manhattan T3-R Availability

    So my trusty Bush DTR500 has finally kicked the bucket and I've been looking for a replacement. From my research, I think the Manhattan T3-R seems to fit the bill but everywhere seems to be out of stock (unless I'm willing to pay over the odds). Does anyone know if they are running down stock...

    Best PVR 2023 - plus comments please

    Hi guys, Hope all are well. I'm looking for the best PVR to replace my Humax T4000's. These machines won't pick up ITVX, so I'm guessing they will soon miss lots of new channels. I'd also prefer one where we don't spend more on extra garbage remote controls than the machines,,,,,,,,,, an...
