Where to find more information about HD DVRs
At its heart, a DVR is essentially a dedicated computer whose sole function is to capture and store video. You can also add tuner hardware and software to any modern PC and turn it into a very capable DVR. Windows-compatible PC TV tuners and personal video recorders (PVRs) are available from a number of sources, but perhaps the best known is Hauppauge Computer Works.
There are a number of sources for PVR software. A listing of free and commercial programs can be found at Wikipedia.com.
Enthusiast forums are packed with tons of great information and FAQ lists. They are also the best place to get the latest news on upgrades, problems, fixes and more:
