DVR
Television storage device
A DVR (digital video recorder) is a device that records television programs to a hard drive for later viewing.
Unlike older VCRs that used tapes, DVRs allow pausing, rewinding, and fast-forwarding live TV: I DVR'd the game so I could skip the commercials.
TiVo popularized the technology in the late 1990s.
The term works as both noun and verb.
