A stand-alone personal video recorder that can be integrated directly into a television set, as well as other Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") devices. The personal video recorder ("PVR") of this invention utilizes MPEG-2 standard encoding and decoding devices coupled with a hard disk drive for storage. The PVR is compatible with the common video broadcast formats, namely NTSC (National Television Standards Committee), PAL (Phase Alternating Line system) or S-Video forms. The small size and the low power consumption of the PVR of this invention allows for an easy and efficient incorporation into various OEM devices, including television sets, IRD recorders, digital VCRs, as well as state-of-the-art home entertainment centers.
