Personal Video Recorder.  A computer which digitises TV and stores it on
hard disk on request, like Tivo but without the mandatory subscription to a
service which allows you to download program details and keeps track of
what you watch.

Program information is available free if you're willing to pull web pages
apart (not difficult). The big difficulty, for Linux at any rate, is the
poor state of device drivers for capture hardware.
