"A DVR recorder does seem as if it would be of value...".
Why would it seem to be of value "given the atrocious programming" and why would you subject yourself to that on both "cable and a dish"?

"...isn't "DVR recorder" repetitious?".
Yes. Afirmative. Bingo. Correctamundo. Spot on. You got it.

"Doesn't DVR stand for digital video recorder?"
Again, yes. But that's why people call it a DVR, not a DVR recorder.

"...can a DVR be added without a cable or dish system knowing about it?".
Damn straight it can, but for reasons I won't go into.
