The device also includes catch up features for several services, including BBC iPlayer, iTV Hub, Demand 5, and others. The catch up services can all be accessed on this device thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi module, which lets you set the device up on your wireless home network.

Owners of smartphones and tablets running iOS or Android can control the receiver directly from the screen of their gadget: the functional Humax LIve TV App allows you to watch a TV program and record your favourite shows, even when you are far from home. The device itself comes standard with 500 GB of storage capacity, which is enough storage space to hold up to 250 hours of recordings.

For those who really like to binge watch shows that they've recorded, other models with larger storage capacities are also available. You can even access Netflix on this box if you already have a subscription, letting this device become the true center of your home entertainment system. The rise of DVRs within the last couple of decades have made them pretty common devices to find in a home nowadays. Many of the DVRs of the past had some big limitations, though, namely the ability to only record and view one channel at a time. This meant that for those who wanted to watch one TV show while recording another at the same time, this was an impossible task to do on the same television. However, in recent years, devices with two or more tuners have become more commonplace, and this has even extended to Freeview Play recorders. The Panasonic DMR-HWT130EB9 with Twin Freeview+ Tuners is a great example of a Freeview recorder that includes twin tuners to let you record and watch your favourite TV shows at the same time.

Scheduling conflicts no longer have to make you prioritise one show over another, as with this device they are a thing of the past. Just set the box to record both shows at the same time, and you can watch them at your leisure, not needing to do anything extra. The 500 GB of internal storage gives you up to 129 hours of HD quality video, so you should have plenty of space for storing multiple episodes from your favourite TV shows, with plenty of extra room to spare for future recordings.
