I have a Panasonic TV TX-32LZD85 just a question regarding the recording function on it, was just having a look at it and am i right in thinking i can record direct from the TV rather than having a DVD Recorder. I just pressed TV Guide from the remote and then press timer programme so is it recording the programme and how do i view it if it has recorded the programme.

Looking at the TV specification it doesn't appear to have a usb port to connect a usb mass storage device to. Without this selecting a programme from the guide will only set a reminder and switch to the programme when it starts. The other alternative would be connecting a DVD recorder and using the reminder to record the programme to this box.

Even TV's that do have recording are very inflexible as you can only watch the programme you are recording. Much better to get a proper pvr.

So if i was to get a PVR would i be able to record from the TV on to it. Ive had the Tv about 5 years now and have always used sky to record stuff but im giving the TV to my mum.

A PVR has it's own tuners. It's independent of the TV, which you only need to watch the pvr output.

Just to make it clear and repeat what grahamlthompson said.....
You do not record from the TV as a PVR has it's own built-in tuners.
In fact PVRs cannot record from an external source
