Humax Digital has unveiled a TV set that is certainly going to appeal to some HD buyers. The LGB-40TPVR, which is available now in the UK, is the first 40inch LCD TV to boast both a pair of Freeview digital TV tuners and a 40 Gigabyte hard disk video recorder.
It also features the now statutory, for Freeview, seven day electronic programme guide and the hard disk which can store up to thirty hours of programmes, can also pause live TV.
Humax also claims that the set is HD ready, even though it sports a DVI input rather then the UK standard HDMI. The 40 Gigabyte hard disk isn't going to store a great deal of HD footgae though. Also on board is an analogue TV tuner, so until that great switch off at least users will be able to record two digital terrestrial channels whilst watching a recorded programme; watch a digital terrestrial channel whilst recording another; or simply record two digital terrestrial channels while watching an analogue channel. Got that. It is set to retail for around £2100.
