Design and implementation of an enhanced personal video recorder for HDTV

We have developed a PVR (personal video recorder) that is capable of simultaneous playback and recording of HD quality MPEG-2 streams for digital TV. It provides viewers with a few enhanced features as well as basic features such as pause, instant replay, skip forward and fast forward/rewind in conventional PVRs for analog TV. This paper describes enhanced and new features that are implemented on our PVR.
