What is PVR?

PVR stands for personal video recording which means when watching tv with the built in freeview you can insert a flash drive or an external hard drive into the usb input on the side of the tv and use the flashdrive/hard drive as a recording device so you can pause live tv and record onto the flash drive or external hard drive and watch it later or take it out connect to your computer and save onto your computer.

Sort of like a built in my freeview.
