What is the Panasonic HWT250?

The Panasonic HWT250EB is among the first batch of their Personal Video Recorders (PVR) to featureFreeview Play functionalities, meaning it has a seven day scroll back electronic programme guide (EPG) and integration with all the major UK catch-up services, including BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and Demand 5. Other ‘special’ assets of the device include play back of 4K content, a ‘TV anywhere’ app, network integration and video streaming services including Netflix and Amazon.
