Hi, yes, the box receives freeview and it records. As for the internet facility the main purpose of that is accessing IPlayer, which isn't accessible. It's also used to download software upgrades from the TVonics website, but as I understand from previous posts the version of the software which downloads doesn't include the speech component. In any event, now the company's gone into administration it's anyone's guess how long the website will be there. It is, in any case far easier to download software off air via the aerial.

I am a bit confused about the mention of internet and cable!!
