You cannot record HD content in HD other than converting the content to analogue component which will be totally cost ineffective.

HD content is protected against digital recording by HDCP which means you cannot record digital HDMI output.

Basically if you want to record HD in HD you need another STB.

A Humax HD FOX T2 will record Freeview-HD to an external hard disc as an example. .
