    Will the time shift on this type of machine work with an external source i.e. freeview box? Or just with the (terrestrial) channels on its inbuilt tuner.

    No such thing on any to my knowledge although I may be wrong.

    I had 3 of these before finally getting a refund.
    They have a well ocumented problem with the DVD player and it stops recognising some disks.

    Think I'll leave it then. Far too many negatives about this dvd player.

    Its a good price, but personally I have bad experience with LiteOn. The DVD's overheat a little and it stops working after a couple of months.
