My trusty 2006 Sharp PVR has kicked the bucket.

I run it through a 720p LG plasma which I was thinking about replacing.

I have had a quick look on amazon and google but am I right in saying there does not seem to be a TV with a built in PVR?

I am looking for a 42-48 inch HD LED.

Cheers

I don't think they exist, but most TV's these days will allow you to connect a portable hard drive and record off the EPG to that.

You Can but you are limited as the TV's only have the one Tuner. Best of the current crop of Freeview Tuners is the HUMAX FVP-5000 although the 4000 isnt far off.

Had a look at the specs and it looks like it does.

Cheers for that.

Also check eBay & Amazon for a new Humax/BT T4000 1TB YouView box (no YouTube, though).
