Digital TV and Aerials
Thank you for choosing this Goodmans Digital TV Recorder. Not only can it receive over 40 Freeview channels, you can also pause, record and rewind TV at the touch of a button.
It’s really easy to program; you can set it up to record a whole series in a matter of minutes. No need to key in times or dates, it’s all done using a clear on-screen programme schedule. You can even record two channels at the same time. All your recordings are stored on your Digital TV Recorder’s hard drive, which means an end to piles of DVDs.
This Digital TV Recorder has been given the Freeview Playback seal of approval, so you can be sure you’re getting a great product.
IMPORTANT: Use of any electrical equipment should be undertaken with care. Please read the safety section on page 18-19 before using your Digital TV Recorder. This appliance is for household use only.
A Set Top Box lets you access the free digital channels that are broadcast in the UK.
It uses a digital signal, received through your wideband aerial and lets you watch it through your existing television.
Freeview Playback digital TV recorders give you over 40 free channels that you can pause and record for no subscription. For more information on Digital Television and Freeview, and to check reception in your area please visit www.freeviewplayback.co.uk.
