As of v12 (Frodo), XBMC supports Personal Video Recorder (PVR, sometimes also called DVR for Digital Video Recorder) controls and features when paired with a PVR "backend". A PVR backend is a second process/application that can either run on the same machine running XBMC, on a stand-alone device (able to feed several XBMC machines), or completely by itself with XBMC only running when needed. When paired with a backend, XBMC handles the interface allowing the user to watch live TV, scheduled recordings, time shift, etc.
