When Humax introduced the UK's first Freeview (http://www.engadget.com/tag/freeview) HD set-top box last week (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/), quite a few of you were understandably disappointed that it didn't come with PVR functionality. Well, you can now strike that off your list of worries, as Toshiba has just gone official with its own Freeview+ HD PVR box that packs a healthy 500GB of internal storage alongside two HDMI inputs and one output, a duo of USB ports and Ethernet connectivity. Equipped with dual tuners, it'll allow you to record a pair of simultaneous broadcasts, while the internal hard drive -- good for storing about two hours of video -- should be augmentable with external variants. Toshiba makes sure to include DivX and MP3 playback support in the HDR5010, so it should also make for a decent media streamer when it makes its admittedly distant debut in June for £349 ($545).Toshiba HDR5010 marries Freeview HD to a PVR in time for the World Cup (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/toshiba-hdr5010-marries-freeview-hd-to-a-pvr-in-time-for-the-wor/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Wed, 10 Feb 2010 14:35:00 EST.
