Want to watch and record Freeview in crystal clear HD (high definition) ? Then why not have a look at the Sony SVRHDT500B – it’s massive 500Gb hard drive will let you record up to 300 hours of your favourite TV programs in normal definition, or up to 125 hours if you want to record in HD. Combined with a twin tuner that lets you watch one channel while up to 2 others are being recorded make this a very versatile Freview PVR.
Besides having all the features of Freeview+, it’s monolithic (you’ve seen 2001 a space oddity right ?) styling concept features luxurious materials with a cool, minimalist finish (if that floats your boat) to make it a perfect match with the BRAVIA TV. (more…)
Switch on your freeview box, freeview recorder or freeview television

- Select ‘set up’ or ‘installation’ option
- Select ‘first time installation’ option (sometimes called ‘full retune’, ‘default settings’ or ‘factory reset’,)
- Press ‘OK’ if your equipment asks if you want to delete all your channels – this is normal so don’t worry
- Channels will be automatically installed. This may take a few minutes; your equipment may shut down and
restart

Freeview+ has many great features to offer which are easy to get to grips with. To record a program, use the handset to go into the TV guide and use the arrow key to click through the programming schedule to find whatever it is you want to record. Select the program or movie and that’s it !
Every freeview recordeer has a seven day program guide so you can set it to record well in advance of the program being broadcast. Twin tuner freeview recorders will allow you to watch a different program to the one you are recording.
How about recording an entire series ? This is almost as simple. Just go to the TV guide and use the arrow key to find the program you want to record. If it’s a series you’ll automatically be given an option to record the entire series. Select and that’s it ! Most machines have enough storage space to record up to 100 hours of programs.
To pause live TV just press the ‘Pause’ button on the Freeview remote control, then to resume watching press ‘Play’ on the remote control. If you miss something first time round, just press ‘Rewind’ to watch it again !
That’s the beauty of Freeview+ – pause, record and rewind TV with no monthly bills !
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.

The Wharfedale LP160DTRHDMI is a pretty impressive piece of kit for the money – not many freeview recorders give you twin tuners and a 160Gb hard disk for less than £100 ! Because it has twin tuners you can watch one digital channel while recording another, or record two channels simultaneously whilst watching a previous recording. Freeview+ features include the usual Pause and Rewind live TV, series record and an 8d ay EPG. Overall it’s fairly easy to use and value for money (more…)
