Add High Definition recording ability to your TV with this Freeview Certified digital receiver from Uniden, you just need an external hard drive.
Will connect to any tv via HDMI, component or composite (red-white-yellow) video. No twin-tuners but if your TV has a built-in tuner, the PVR can record one channel while you watch another on the TV. Spotted on page 3 of the WOW Sight & Sound last minute gift ideas catalogue. The ad says RRP is $249.
Uniden's website has some further information:

It looks like a decent PVR but the manual says it encrypts the recordings.
I wonder if this machine will play Divx/Xvid then?
