The difference is that with iPlayer, you are receiving and watching the programme later than the original broadcast.
With a PVR, you may be watching the programme later, but your equipment still received it as it was broadcast.

I told my girlfriend I had a job in a bowling alley. She said 'Tenpin?' I said, 'No, permanent.'

Cyber - questions about iPlayer v PVR etc are way above my head - having only used iPlayer for the first time a few weeks ago!  But I believe that not all BBC programs are available for download on iPlayer, but that all programs are recordable via 'live' television.

A question along these lines was on another forum I use - where someone posted that he had wanted to watch an episode of “The Tudors” using iPlayer and his Humax. He searched for the programme which was marked “Not Available”.  So he watched it on the laptop.

I searched Google and found this link http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/announcements/tudors_series4_bbciplayer
