This is the first reference to an "HDD/DVD recorder" that I can recall seeing. At first I thought it was a typo, and you meant "HD-DVD," but some Googling reveals that other folks have referred to combination DVRs and DVD recorders this way, though most refer to them as a "hard-drive/DVD recorder" first and abbreviate later. ("HDD" is really a techie term that never hit the consumer consciousness to refer to "hard disk drive," so it's a little opaque without any context.)

There also seem to be some hard-drive/DVD recorders that can use their hard drives as DVRs and some that can't. I did just track down a press release for this unit, and it seems as though they are touting DVR features. I'd be curious to know whether it's yet another roll-your-own piece of DVR software on there, or whether they incorporated someone's existing technology.
