ReplayTV was a brand of digital video recorder (DVR), a term synonymous with personal video recorder (PVR). It is a consumer video device which allows users to capture television programming to internal hard disk storage for later viewing (and time shifting). The first ReplayTV model was introduced in January 1999 during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, at the same time as a competing DVR model from rival company TiVo. After the sale of assets to DirecTV, ReplayTV's only ongoing activity was maintenance of the electronic program guide service by D&M Holdings, which was to be discontinued on July 31, 2011. However, on July 29, 2011, a notice was placed on the ReplayTV web site stating that service would be continued without interruption for lifetime subscribers and monthly subscribers may have a short interruption in service. [1] On September 2, 2011 programing contact through the ReplayTV dial up system was terminated without any update message being sent to subscribers or posted on replaytv.us.

The TV industry attacked ReplayTV for two reasons:
电视工业攻击ReplayTV有两个原因
The machines enabled people to record television programs and then watch them without commercials via the optional "Commercial Advance" feature.[5] This had the potential to undercut advertising revenues which the lawsuit called "the lifeblood of most television channels".
这个机器使人们能够录制电视节目，然后观看它们没有商业广告，通过可选择的“Commercial Advance”特性。这有可能性削弱广告收入，诉讼称作“多数电视频道的生命线”
The machines allowed users to share programs they have recorded with others via the "Send Show" feature, which transmits digital copies of shows not only on a local network, but also over the Internet to other ReplayTV owners, thereby enabling people who had not paid for premium channels to watch premium content for free.
这个机器请允许用户分享节目他们录制的和其它的人通过“Send Show”特性，传递节目数字拷贝不仅仅在当地网络，而且通过互联网到其它的ReplayTV 拥有者，因此使没有支付付费频道的人们可以免费观看付费内容。
Both the “Commercial Advance” and the “Send Show” features were alleged to violate U.S. copyright and other federal and state laws, according to the TV industry plaintiffs, who wanted sales of the ReplayTV 4000 devices—slated for shipment on Nov. 15, 2001—stopped.[6]

DVR属于电子设备，用于记录存储监控视频信息的设备。
DigitalVideoRecorder（硬盘录像机），即数字视频录像机，相对于传统的模拟视频录像机，采用硬盘录像，故常常被称为硬盘录像机，也被称为DVR。它是一套进行图像存储处理的计算机系统，具有对图像/语音进行长时间录像、录音、远程监视和控制的功能。
在国内市场上的DVR产品主要是包括台湾在内的大中华地区及韩国的产品占主导地位，大陆地区企业具有“中国制造”的优势，但在技术上几乎完全依赖国外的技术发展，没有掌握核心芯片和嵌入式主板开发的关键技术，企业的技术创新能力较差，台湾和邻国韩国在这方面强于大陆地区企业。
