Video recorders have been available for a number of years. There is now the PVR. These have a built-in Freeway receiver, sometimes more than one. Freeview, the brand name, then markets those that meet their standards. The main goal of Freeview is to raise awareness of digital TV recorders.
If they receive Freeview service then all must meet their required specifications. Freeview does not manufacture the units; instead, they award their label to manufacturers that meet their requirements. Many major manufactures have joined Freeview – such names as Sharp, Sony, and Daewoo.
The Freeview recorder generally offers a number of features. These include a time shift, pause/rewind, upscaling, and top-up tv. In order to use the Freeview you need very little equipment. Of course a TV is a necessity. You will also need the Freeview box. The TV can be either a digital or an analogue. However, it must have a scart socket. Most of the Freeview recorders also work with the different surrond sound systems.
The Freeview box might be just the receiver if you just want to watch. However, if your intention is to record programs then you will need the recorder. The recorder allows you to record any of the channels without tape. It is a totally tapeless system. The recorder has a built in tuner so it is not necessary to have two separate boxes. The recorder uses a hard disk drive. It stores your recordings. Whatever programs you choose to record will stay on the machine. This means you can only play back the program on that particular machine. You cannot take it to your bedroom, for example, to play on another machine. This is available on a VHS recorder but not on a Freeview.
The TV with Freeview Recorder devices have a Freeview record, typically the hard drive type, which is a part of the TV all in one unit. This allows a person with little space to have everything they need in one component. Also, this means a person does not need a number of power supplies and cables which can make any room look cluttered. Basically, a Freeway recorder showing the Freeway + logo simply needs to be plugged in. After you read the instructions you are ready to use the new equipment. Since Freeview has recently added the Series Link and Accurate Recording this makes recording all the more simple. This allows you to select a program. If you want to record more than one program, in the series, you can choose the series link.
