Humax LP32-TDR1

Televisions with built-in PVR; Newest review: 9/2008

Although the built in hard disk recorder saves on space and clutter, AVReview found the Humax LP32-TDR1 to be lacking in performance with detail lost in dark areas and weak sonic ability.

Product information and further reviews for TVs with Hard Drive Recorder

Super test: 32in LCD TVs AVReview 9/2008 - With 32in televisions still very popular among UK consumers, manufacturers are cramming in more features and lowering prices left, right and centre making this a great opportunity to get your hands on a new LCD. Review details: Eight LCD televisions in the nation's favourite size were reviewed and rated based on features, performance and value for money. Scores ranged from 7 to 9 points out of 10.

Sanyo CE-32LDY1 32in LCD TV TrustedReviews 10/2006 - You might reasonably expect a 32in LCD TV available for as little as £940 to be nothing more than, well, a 32in LCD TV. But for Sanyo’s CE-32LDY1, being a TV is merely the start of its talents. For it’s one of a very select few LCD TVs in the UK that also sports a built-in hard disk drive for recording TV programmes.

Sanyo Y:TV AVReview 8/2006 - Digital TV is gaining a foothold in our living rooms in a two-pronged approach. You can add a separate digibox or get an integrated digital TV with built-in tuner. A growing number of digital recorders include Freeview too, either as a hard-disk-equipped personal video recorder (PVR) or inside a DVD recorder, with or without a hard disk. Sanyo's CE32LDY1 is one of the few TVs to include both a Freeview receiver and hard-disk recorder inside. It's also an HD-ready 32in LCD with an HDMI port should you upgrade to the next evolution of TV (though of course you'll need to add a separate HDTV box).

TVs with Hard Disk Receiver

Devices that combine LCD TV and hard drive receivers are ideal if you either don't have the finances or the space for more specialised 'stand alone' units. Most are LCD TVs but it's important that they have Full HD so they will be equipped for upcoming high definition digital TV.


TVs with integrated hard disk receivers or recorders have clearly replaced video recorders as the TV recording medium of choice. Combining two devices means users save the space and the money they would have needed for an extra machine. Most are LCDs with modern TFT technology and an integrated receiver and a hard disk. There are also tuners for both digital and analogue TVs and further features like a HDMI connection. When buying, it is important to check that the device is really sustainable because if just one component is outdated, a whole new device is needed. An LCD TV with Full HD is advised so it will be equipped for upcoming high definition digital TV because HD ready devices must convert HDTV to a lower number of lines which leads to a loss of quality. The number of hours that can be recorded depends on hard disk storage space. 20GB, 60GB and 80GB devices are currently available. 80GB devices can record up to 56 hours of film which in most cases is plenty. Recording TV shows or films is very straightforward, provided there is an EPG (Electronic Program Guide). Some devices also have a card reader and a common interface slot which can receive PAY TV programmes. The integrated hard disk receiver can automatically record TV programmes as they're being broadcast so users won't miss key scenes and can play them back at a later date. A high quality hard disk recorder can't replace these multifunctional devices but they do allow users to save their favourite series and films for a certain period of time.
