Humax releases 32-inch LCD with built-in dual-tuner PVR

Humax continues to rock the all-in-one bizness with its latest 32-inch LCD TV, the LP32-TDR1, which manages to cram a 160GB PVR with twin Freeview tuners into its otherwise unassuming set. The usual specs like resolution, contrast ratio, and response time are a bit hard to come by, but it is apparently equipped with a CI slot for subscription content, component, composite , s-video, and "PC" ports, (not sure if that means VGA or DVI), two RGB SCART jacks and, most importantly, an HDMI connector, something Humax's earlier TVs lacked. Price is £900, or about $1,700 for those of us this side of the pond.

Humax do offer great value and deliver the functionality, although perhaps not with the polish of Sony, but the price normally more than makes up for it.

So, is the DVR still a Tivo?

Seamslik this could be an upgrade in one area and a downgrade in another

Their current 32" (and 26" and 40")LCD PVR unit come with 40GB drives. This has a 160GB but might just be a recorder as opposed to the whole time shifting PVR devices hey have now.

that would be odd, as this upgrade should just require a larger hard drive (2.5" apparently) and little other development work.

As for "PC ports" that culd refer to the USB Mass Storage Host, RS232, DVI-D and D-sub
