Bob, it's the same in Canada. You get your PVR/DVR through your tv provider (cable or satellite), or to a small extent, TiVo. TiVo is relatively new in Canada, so I don't think it's as popular here as it seems to be in the US. But even the boxes from the tv providers have only been around a few years here. I know I had heard about them in the US at least a couple years before any were introduced here.
