Freeview Recorder

Freeview+ is just the name given to digital TV recorders that are combined with a built-in Freeview receiver.

To be called Freeview+ and bear the logo players must include the following features :

* At least 8 Day Electronic Programme Guide (EPG)
* Series Link (one timer to record whole series)
* Record split programmes as one programme
* Offer to record related programme
* Record alternative showing if there is a time conflict
* Schedule changes updated in standby (e.g. scheduled recording starting early)
* Accurate recording (equivalent to PDC – programmes are recorded based on signals from the broadcaster rather than scheduled time) – since (more…)

If you already have a freeview box or your TV has a built in Freeview digital tuner a Freeview Recorder with a single Freeview tuner will let you record one channel while watching another.
If you don’t have a freeview box or a digital TV then you’ll need a twin tuner Freeview recorder which will let you watch one digital channel while recording a different digital channel.
