LG has launched the first TV sets to include a high-definition digital video recorder (HD DVR), allowing you to record, pause and rewind live television without needing a separate box.
The two models feature a continuous recording function that automatically records television broadcasts as they are being watched. This is then stored to the built-in 250GB hard drive so the live broadcast can be paused or accessed later.
There are currently two models in the HD DVR series, a 42-inch LCD (the 42LC2DR) and a 50-inch plasma (the 50PB2DR). Both are capable of storing up to 40 hours of HD or 100 hours of SD footage.
The beauty of the HD DVR televisions is that only one remote control is required to switch the television on or off and record, pause and rewind the broadcast. Previously you would have needed a separate DVR unit.
Both screens offer a resolution of 1366×768 as well as two HDMI inputs to allow connection to devices such as DVD players and home theatre systems.
RRP 42LC2DR: $5375
RRP 50PB2DR: $6875
