A DVR in your home records content you can watch later. The Apple TV has the sane capability, except all the shows are recorded for you to watch later. Same result, it doesnt really matter where the recording is, on your HDD or at Netflix servers. Either way its there, and you wont forget to record it as the SVOD provider has taken care of that.

The Apple TV is hardly a DVR in the sense that most DVRs are i.e. Tivo (OTA and providers) or the cable or FIOS or Satellite providers or Myth TV and the like.
DVRs imply you can record content and play it back any time.

Apple TV and Roku and Fire TV are streaming video devices unless they have some apps I have never seen.
I am not sure why you are saying that streaming devices are DVRs. Having worked with DVRs for over a decade I have found no capabilities I associate with a DVR on my Apple TV, Roku or Fire TV unless you know and can explain something I do not.

If you have an OTA antenna already, you might want to look at obtaining
a Tablo [1]. It is a DVR that will record OTA channels, and might be
cheaper in the long run than CBS, etc. Plus, it can be watched on your
iPad/iPhone/Roku/whatever.
