Pause live TV - equipment required?

Hi,
I'm looking for a cheap solution - I know I could sign up to a package or but a recording device.
However, I saw a tv advertised which mentioned 'pause TV with USB'
What I want is something very simple for an OAP so I was looking for a tv that has freeview built in that also has the pause live TV function.
Does this exist? Either with or without a USB stick?
Thank you!

pvr is more useful, especially if you don't need to buy a new tv!!

Thank you both! He probably does need a new TV - that's actually the point that started the whole conversation off. But both options worthy of thought so thanks!*** Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly ***

If the TV still displays OK, keep it and add a Humax PVR 9300T. Pretty cheap if you go for a manager's special on the Humax Direct site.
It will do a lot more for him than just pause (series record for example).No free lunch, and no free laptop

TV can still be used with very little hassle as long as it has SCART at the back. I'd really rather not be stuck with a 4:3 shaped screen these days though.0
