Hitachi has unveiled a suite of (HD ready) new televisions. Equipped with 4 tuners (2 digital, 2 analogue) and a hard disk, they will sport DVR functionality (as in time-based recording of programmes rather than schedule based), a 10/100 ethernet port and an SD slot. Given that they wouldn't arrive in the UK for quite some time, I can't see the point of buying a TV with a built in analogue tuner (let alone two). The functionality would drop off during digital switchoff. Plus, time-based recording isn't so great, especially given that the automated channels are often the worst offenders for not running to the billed times. I'm not sure they haven't over-egged the omelette with these.
