Is it possible to record Freeview HD programmes onto my PC?
Not yet, but this should be possible once receiver cards are available which are compatible with Freeview HD. Microsoft’s and Apple’s recent operating systems include the content management controls which are required to record Freeview HD programmes without compromising our agreements with rights holders. Recent HD compatible computers would therefore record Freeview HD programmes if they have the appropriate software and hardware. Linux and Myth TV systems do not have to include such content management controls so we don’t support these systems. • You can read Ofcom’s statement here. • You’ll find more information about Freeview HD content management here.
