NEWS // 3View Freeview HD Box PVR
A while back we announced that 3View would be releasing a Freeview HD Box and now we've got all the details for you. We've just had an exclusive briefing from 3View about their first Freeview HD box PVR which they will release in the UK.
3View are a relatively new British start-up company, and they are looking to make an impact in the Freeview HD Box areana with their new offering. You can now pre-order the 3View Freeview HD Box PVR from the official 3View website at a cost of £299. This is currently the only place to order a 3View Freeview HD Box + PVR and it is hoped that they will be delivered before the end of May 2010. Initially the 3View Freeview HD Box PVR will only be sold online so you won't be able to get it on the high street but 3View hopes to strike deals with some of the major retailers like Asda,Tesco and Best Buy to distribute the box. 
What is the benefit of the Freeview HD Box over other Freeview HD Boxes? The secret is the PVR.. also known as personal video recorder. This particular Freeview HD box is much more clever than the standard Freeview HD Receiver. The 3View Freeview PVR has a in-built 500GB memory in the form of a hard drive. T^his is used for recording all your favourite programs. It has a Ethernet port and can be connected to the internet via a wireless connection (using a USB dongle). This gives you unlimited internet access and to make it even easier the 3View PVR Box comes with apps for watching YouTube, browing on Facebook and Twitter already installed and has all the benefits of a Freeview HD twin tuner.
The picture of the 3View Freeview PVR Box which is shown is an image of the prototype but it is expected to be exactly the same as the released version you will buy.
News // Linsar FHD1 Freeview HD Box Released
Linsar have released their first Freeview HD Box - Known as the Linsar FHD1. Retailing at under £150 this is one of the cheapest Freeview HD Boxes on the market. Linsar are promoting the Linsar FHD1 Freeview HD Box as "the UK's first affordable T2 Freeview HD set top box".
This is a slightly odd claim as we have already seen a Bush Freeview HD box currently available at Argos for less at only £100. Therefore its a claim that the Linsar FHD1 is not really going to live up to. However it is a lower-price Freeview HD Box if you want to get those free high definition channels.

In addition the official Freeview HD site have started advertising the new Freeview HD service on UK TV Channels. It is believed that Freeview HD have been waiting until the first Freeview HD Box has been tried and tested before starting the push the new Freeview HD service.
