DVR recording

Time-shifted television capture

A DVR recording is video content captured and stored by a digital video recorder, typically from broadcast or cable television.

The device saves programs to a hard drive for later viewing, allowing users to pause, rewind, and skip commercials: I'll watch my DVR recording of the game tomorrow.

The term distinguishes recorded content from live broadcasts or streaming.
