Hot on the heals of Panasonic's DMR-BS850, LG have launched their own Blu-ray recorder which features Freeview+ for time shifting functions such as pause live TV .
Although the HR400 comes with a more modest 160GB hard drive (compared to the Panasonic's 500GB) this is reflected in a more affordable £350 price.
The HR400 is a full profile 2.0 Blu-ray player with the Ethernet port providing YouTube compatibility and the ability to stream media files across a home network.
LG's new recording deck also features 1080p output including 1080/24p along with 1080p DVD upscaling. All of the main HD sound formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD are supported. LG have also introduced Instant Tray Open that claims a 5 second operation while Quick BD Booting of about 19 seconds (depending on the disc) is also provided.
The HR400 can record DVD as well as Blu-ray, the circular power button in the middle of the deck glowing red for the former and blue for the latter.
LG are planning to introduce the HR400 across the UK and the rest of Europe towards the end of this month.
