Recording to Hard Disk Drive (HDD) allows you to store up to 455 hours of TV without using blank discs, ensuring that you can go away on holiday without worrying about running out of space for all of your favourite programmes.

And even when you are at home, you can playback your stored programmes while new ones are being recorded, giving you all the flexibility you need.

Enjoy over 40 of the latest free digital TV and radio channels with no subscription fee and no need for a separate Freeview box. And because your HDD DVD recorder is Freeview accredited, it's been independently certified as one of the best on the market. Meaning you can trust it to record your favourite shows, and pause live TV at the touch of a button.

With Freeview and a built-in digital tuner, your HDD DVD recorder is fully prepared for the digital switchover. Between now and 2012, all of the UK's television broadcasts will change to digital and the old analogue system will be switched off.
