Network DVR (NDVR), or NPVR (Network Personal Video Recorder), or Remote Storage Digital Video Recorder (RS-DVR) is a network-based digital video recorder (DVR) stored at the provider's central location rather than at the consumer's private home. Traditionally, media content was stored in a subscriber's set-top box hard drive, but with NDVR the service provider owns a large number of servers, on which the subscribers' media content is stored. The term RS-DVR is used by Cablevision for their version of this technology. This book is your ultimate resource for Network DVR.
