Digital video recorders, or DVRs, allow users to store programs on them digitally so they can be watched later. Just like tapes, DVRs have limited space --- eventually, you will have to delete programs to make room. While most DVRs cannot recover a deleted program, TiVo DVRs allow you to restore programs that have been recently deleted.
