A Look at "Freestyle" and "Mira" (http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/freestyle_mira.asp)

Coming this year in Windows XP...

Users can connect a Freestyle-enabled PC to a television set and home stereo and use a remote to view home videos, music and photos, watch DVD movies, and program Digital Video Recorder (DVR) capabilities through an onscreen program guide (Figure). And the DVR allows you to watch, pause, and record live TV like you would with a TiVo or Ultimate TV device.

No doubt Freestyle and Mira are cool looking. But calling it PVR? No. More like PC-TV convergance. It does not replace, but instead adds to PVR technology.
