SVOD over a DVR Device – (Maybe known as PVR-enhanced VOD. Associated with Network Personal Video Recording, nPVR) - Direct Broadcast Satellite’s (DBS) competitive response to server-based Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) programming packages from digital cable providers (which include Telewest and Comcast.) As DBS customers often invest in the set-top box themselves, it can be less expensive for DBS to deploy SVOD. Satellite TV's Video on Demand is however limited by the hard drive capacity of the Personal TV receiver (set top box) that the customer has.  Also DBS has a more difficult time simultaneously sending/receiving more than one video stream from/to the customer than does digital cable due to bandwidth restrictions.
