Television with built in Freeview recorder?

Shirley if you don't have an inter-web YouView is kind of pointless.

Don't call me Shirley.
Yes, you can go cheaper than YouView, especially if you're not going to use the on demand part, but I still say that the YouView box has the best user interface, and is the best FreeviewHD recorder that I know of. It should also have decent resale value, and can be used online later if you do get BB.

.......and they only have a single tuner, so you cannot record one channel and watch another. Only really useful if you have a Humax or a Sky + box as well.

There are some sets with twin tuners so watching one thing and recording another is possible but they are rare and expensive.

A separate box is a lot easier.

Thanks all.

She has been talked into this by someone she knows and trusts so I think she's keeping it. I don't think she's made the right choice but it's not down to me.

I think it will end up as an expensive TV set that she won't be able to use properly, either for the recording or smart features.

I agree.
Pity, because used properly, the extra features provide another level of viewing experience.
