A digital video recorder (DVR) and personal video recorder (PVR) is a consumer electronics device

or application softwarethat records video in a digital format to a disk drive, USB flash drive, SD memory
card or other mass storage device (local or networked). The term includes set-top boxes with recording
facility, portable media players (PMP) with recording facility, recorders (PMR as camcorders that record
onto memory cards) and software for personal computers which enables video capture and playback to

the factory; LG was first to launch one in 2007.[1]
