With so many channels to choose from and so many recording and viewing options, it's as good as writing the TV guide yourself.
With twin HD tuners, you can enjoy high definition broadcasts with no subscription and no monthly fee.
Freeview+HD and Freesat+HD are the only way to enjoy high definition broadcasts with no subscription and no monthly fee. With over 140 channels, including HD offerings from the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, you'll always find something to watch. Plus, because it's all recordable straight onto the Blu-ray recorder, you'll never have to miss your favourite shows again.
Record up to two channels at once, and watch pre-recorded shows off the HDD at the same time.
The Blu-ray recorder's DIGA system is the new simple and convenient way of pausing and rewinding live TV. With the ability to rewind up to 2 hours, you'll never miss a thing. You can pause live TV as though you were watching a DVD.
HD Recording
With the Blu-ray recorder's DR mode, you can record HD content and broadcasts direct to the HDD without the slightest change in quality. You get the same unforgettable picture, the same crisp 5.1ch surround sound and the same subtitles and audio description. It's full High Definition in all its glory - just as it was intended and yours to view whenever you like.

Your family movies and photos can be archived in full HD to a Blu-ray disc, or simply copied to a DVD so you can share them with all your friends and family. Either way, it takes very little time - one hour of full HD content can be archived to Blu-ray Disc in just one minute (HM Mode).
Blu-ray Discs allow you to watch your favourite movies and moments in stunning high definition. And the Panasonic range of Blu-ray Recorders ensures that you can experience all the crisp detail, rich colour and unforgettable sound in the way they were originally intended.
