With over 80 hours of storage, it delivers faster, more stable recording and a cleaner setup. USB storage up to 1TB is supported if additional space is required. Dual Freeview Tuners – Record Two Channels -Dual Freeview tuners allow you to record two channels at the same time, or watch one channel while recording another. This makes it easy to manage overlapping programmes and get more from your Freeview service. Both tuners must be set to Freeview (DVB-T / DVB-T2).

Ideal for films, live events and daily TV, with channel availability depending on your TV aerial signal.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ VERY EASY SET UP SMALL AND COMPACT
*by A***R on 18 June 2026*

VERY PLEASED WITH THIS EASY REMOTE CONTROL TO USE HAD WORKING IN MINUTES HAS EVERTHING A FREEVIEW SHOULD HAVE 7 DAY EPG HD CHANNELS RECORDING FOR PROGAMS REWIND PAUSE LIVE TV

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very quiet
*by M***E on 7 April 2026*

Very good unit and extreme quiet due to ssd hard drive. Live picture good but recorded picture blocky and distorted.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value Freeview Viewer/Recorder
*by A***. on 25 March 2026*

A good Freeview tuner/recorder, for this price-point. Very impressed that this uses an SSD drive for recording. (Solid state, Not spinning HDD which don't "live" as long in my experience). All menus are easy to use. Picture quality also very good. Pause time on live TV was impressive, but depends on drive capacity remaining, of course. It doesn't let you rewind instantly, unless paused first. A minor here. And yes you can watch a channel when recording another, but you need to input the channel to watch another channel, as the EPG is not available when recording. Also, if recording a film, divided by some "news", ask it to record the other part ! Only minors, and depending what you are used to. This is a good box for me, in my months of use.
