Can you buy an all in 1 TV with Freeview - Recordable?

VIJAY_FROM_KENT

Hi everyone. I hope people can help me please.

Can you buy an all in 1 TV with Freeview that is recordable?

I would like to buy 1 unit to avoid complication or at least the simplest method to buy something so I can record while I'm not at home or record 1 channel and watch another. At the moment I'm using an old CRT TV and a VCR!

I would like this for my office, about 19inch as once a month I publish a magazine and at that time I would like to plug my laptop into the TV so I can see the magazine and big bigger/clearer on screen.

Your help much appreciated!

Thanks,

Vijay

I've not seen anything like that, and it probably wouldn't appeal to many people - because if only one part of the integrated "package" goes wrong you may have to junk the lot.

I suspect the closest you'll get are the AV products designed for mobile use by Avtex, Maxim, etc. They are typically a bit smaller than you want, though, and the best you'll get for now from them is a USB interface so that you can record onto pendrive or USB HDD.

This http://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/products/dtv_lcd32_LP32-TDR1.asp is the closest I've seen to what you want. It's a bit bigger than what you asked for though at 32"

It has a VGA input so you would be able to plug the PC into it.

LG Have a range of lcd tvs that have a freeview recorder built in :

Yes you can here is a 32inch example. Just need time to look for the 19inch version you would like

One of the blokes at work recently bought the 32" LG as linked to above. He is very pleased with it.

I don't think there are any out there yet for the size you want.

Thanks the Humax and LG look ideal spec but there isnt space on the table in my office for screens that size! lol

I wish there was a simple and cheap way to replace my old VCR and 19inch TV! Grr I think im getting old (i'm 28! lol)...

You might want to consider an all in 1 media PC

see here Products / VAIO Desktop PCs / Media Centres / VGCLM1E.CEK

Personally, I don't see that much advantage in having it all-in-one...It's just gonna add to the price, reduce choice and make life a pain if one part breaks.

I'd be inclined to shop around for a decent 19-20 inch TV and then buy a Humax 9200T for all your recording needs - it's by far the simplest way of recording stuff I've come across.
