Right well not much point going any further.
The recorder cannot receive Freeview

See where it says "Digital Terrestrial Tuner - No".
So to be honest your best option is to throw it in the nearest council recycling skip and buy your self a Freeview PVR.
If you want to use the Sony and the TV has a SCART socket that feeds whatever it is tuned to out of it then you could record whatever channel the TV is set to via SCART. But that does mean being unable to record ITV while watching BBC at the same time for example.
If you want to be able to do that you will need a separate Freeview receiver connected via SCART to the recorder to use as the recording source.
But that is all very messy, involves a lot of unnecessary faffing about to set it all up and is likely to lead you to chuck the whole lot out of the window in sheer frustration !

Easier by far to do it "properly" and invest in a recorder designed for the job rather than try and bodge it.
