"To save disc space on my Humax, I've been pulling off the PVR files
onto my PC. They play fine on the PC using VLC Player, but I want to
stream them back to my TV using my media streamer: unfortunately it only
recognises avi, mpg or wma file extensions, so the PVR files won't
play. How can I do?"

"I have StarSat 300 satellite receiver with
HDD and USB output. It store recorded video in strange format, called
PVR (files have *.pvr extension). So, anybody knows, what actually it
is, and how to convert pvr to ordinary mpeg-2 or mpeg-1 file? Any
convertor or codec?"

PVR( Personal Video Recorder), a proprietary
video and audio file container format, used for video that has been
captured from television . It allows the creation of key PVR
functionality including time-shifting, live pause, and simultaneous
record and playback.
For it recordTV videos self-driven, it seems .pvr is becoming a common format/codec on many of the freeview and freesat boxes.

MPG
video file is a variant of the MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)
video and audio compression format, optimized for broadcast quality
