I am looking for some advice on recording programmes on Freeview using a Digital Recorder (DVR) with a Hard Drive.

I have been looking on the internet, but the only ones I can see come with built-in Freeview, which I already have built-in to my TV. Can you get basic ones that just record and playback and nothing else?

Also, is it possible to record and playback using an ordinary external HDD, like the ones you plug into a laptop?


All this digital recording to Hard Disk stuff is new to me.
