For freeview you will need an aerial, If the freeview signal is weak in your area, you will need to talk to a local aerial installer, to find out what they recommend - if you need a high gain amplified aerial it may not be cheap.

There is nothing 'special' about NTL TV output from a digital box, and all DVD recorders will be capable of connecting via the scart socket.

Bearing in mind that true HD or BluRay recorders won't be around in affordable form, for a while, you may want to consider if the recorder is one that can do the playback upscaling, designed to make existing DVD content more compatible with 'HD ready' LCD tv sets.
