Hard driver recorder and portable tv combo

Options
Is it possible to buy one of these? I have googled without success.
Also I only have one aerial point, is it very expensive to have another put in?

    Why do you need two aerial points? The aerial loops thorough the recorder to the TV.

    I have a TV downstairs and want to put in an aerial point upstairs.
    Sorry I should have been clearer.

    No it's not really possible. You can get some TVs that have USB ports (not all of them by any means!) that will record onto USB, but I haven't heard of one that's any good, and you very likely can't watch one/record one. Much better to stick with a dumb TV, and a clever PVR (hard drive recorder) underneath it.
    How expensive is it to add an aerial point? Depends on your house. If the cable runs from the roofspace, down through your bedroom to the living room, it could be nice and cheap but if it's at the other end of the house, and if you need an amplifier in a weak signal area, it'll cost more.
