Verdict
This Freeview TV recorder with twin tuner can receive both standard and high definition TV and has a card reader to access PayTV channels at an additional cost. It has assisted tuning giving regional TV options to choose from when multiple signals are picked up and if connected to a home network can access internet services such as BBC iPlayer. The remote control can be programmed to operate basic TV functions. The TV guide is well presented and displays a small picture of the currently tuned channel. It was easy to install and use. RECOMMENDED.
