The high-definition DTR - from set-top-box maker Zinwell - uses the Freeview eight-day programme guide to select programmes to record.
It has two tuners, which allows viewers to record two channels at once while watching hard drive content.
Its 250GB hard drive will hold up to 80 hours of high-definition content, or 240 hours of standard-definition programmes.
It also enables the viewer to pause live TV, automatically book alternate recording times if you already have two bookings set, and even provides Tivo-style recommendations for other programmes you may like to record.
Several other manufacturers plan to market MyFreeview HD-compatible set to boxes in 2009, some of which will feature larger hard drives and extra tuners.
Freeview also announced the arrival of Base FM on Freeview HD (Freeview Satellite channel 71) and the announcement of TV3+1 (channel 8) from next March.
TV3+1 will allow viewers to watch their favourite TV3 programmes one hour later, thereby avoiding those primetime schedule clashes.
Freeview boss Steve Browning welcomed the concept: "In overseas markets where similar services have been launched the viewer response has been very favourable, so we're excited about what this will mean for the continued growth and popularity of the Freeview platform."
