[QUOTE="net1, post: 38707"] Humax has revealed that the top end of its new range of LCD IDTVs - a 32-inch version scheduled to launch in September - will feature two Freeview tuners (in addition to an analogue tuner) as well as 15-minute TSR (Time Shift Recording). The twin digital tuners will support a PIP (picture in picture) feature, but will notably enable a VCR recorder to record one digital channel while watching another, or, indeed, enable Humax's single-tuner PVR product, the 8000-T, to do the same, leaving a spare Freeview feed to be sent elsewhere (fairly easily done given that this new flat-screen TV set has four SCART connectors). The TSR feature is the 'pause' function which readers with PVRs will be familiar with, according to which you can stop what you're watching when the phone rings, and then resume where you left off when you put the phone down - in this case, however, it's solid-state memory that's being used to store the digital video, not a hard drive, and because of this it's only able to cope with a 15-minute 'hold'.
