network based personal video recorder (IPTV) (NPVR)

To circumvent possible bottlenecks in Internet television( IPTV), TV shows can be recorded on a personal video recorder located on the network and then later retrieved from there.

A Network Based PersonalVideoRecorder (NPVR) can also be used to record multiple TV shows in parallel and then later transfer and play them in IP Unicast streaming from the personal video recorder to the set-top box.

The Network Based Personal Video Recorder (NPVR) is conceptually related to the Network Video Recorder( NVR) because, like the latter, it stores digital video data streams that are transmitted over IP networks.
