As opposed to some other sort that records, er, someone else's choice?

AIUI a PVR records TV you'd like to watch. A non-P VR records what
you've told it to record.

better ones learn your likes and dislikes and can choose what to
record automatically.
Perhaps you're thinking of the word 'portable'

Personal as in Personal CD Player.

Today's FT -



Amstrad:

The group also announced it was about to start shipping personal video
recorders (PVRs) - the new generation of set-top boxes - to BSkyB,
entering
a market dominated by rival Pace Micro Technology.

Simon Sugar, son of chairman Sir Alan, and commercial director, predicted:
"PVRs will replace VCRs in the years to come."

I seem to recall Amstrad were in the vanguard of that movement to sell
virtually-empty PC boxes that would require the user to pay to download
software as one used it a few years back too.

P'raps they ought to consider knocking out a new PCW instead?

Doesn't that make the Sky+ a non-PVR then?

In my books, yes.
