There are a number of Freeview PVRs available, some with dual-tuners like Sky+, from around £150 that offer "Pause Live TV" as an option. These work by buffering up to 30 minutes of video from the currently viewed channel.

They also offer the recording to hard drive feature of all PVRs. Hopefully, the new NTL PVRs will offer the same features when they are released at the end of the year.
