If you have a high definition TV set you can gain improved quality visuals with this recorder as it has an HDMI upscaling feature. This brings standard definition quality television to an almost HD standard transforming the shows you usually experience in low definition to something remarkable like you will have never seen before. The Sony RDR-HXD890 Freeview Recorder PVR has won accolades for its functionality and reliability too which shows what a great purchase it will make for those in need of a Freeview recorder.
