Yes, they are generally used interchangeably. However, from what i hear a PVR is usually home built
I don't think I've heard PVR used specifically for home built or COTS. Dish Network had the DishPVR 5xx, 7xx and 9xx series recorders.

 PVR = Personal Video Recorder
DVR = Digital Video Recorder

They are the same thing..

Someone said that a DVR just records while the PVR has a guide.. that's not correct.. it's just what people call them.

Dish calls them the PVR but has a guide, so does Tivo and they are called a DVR. What cable has are "DVR" boxes and they most certainly have guides in them.

I asked the question tongue in cheek as I already know what they are.

I'm also replying here, to your post, as it's the last in the thread to cover the whole set of replies.
