Well, as I understand it, PVR is a subset of DVR.

A PVR (personal video recorder) records digitally (typically onto a
hard drive), and is therefore a DVR (digital video recorder). However,
there are other forms of DVR - for example, those which record video
onto disc (DVD-R etc) or tape (digital video cassette).

OK, so who's going to tell me I've got it all wrong?
