Review: Freeview god send - Was very easy to set up and program favourite menus and recorded what I asked for. Great peice of kit Review: Freeview recorder - This is basic after having a humax before but does the job. Took me a bit of setting up and couldn't figure out how to record when I turned tv off and needed help from customer services, who were very helpful I have to say. Records 2 channels at once but other than turn channels over no other functions work while recording eg. Can't play recording until it's finished which is bit of a nuisance as like to join a programme while it's still going so can skip through adverts, and can't get on epg while recording. But am getting used to it. Picture quality is good. Very good for the money. ## Features - 256GB SSD BUILT-IN FOR TV RECORDING - With 256GB of SSD storage you can record 80+ Hours of TV, with the option to add a USB drive (not included) for even more storage!
