If I get a new TV that has freeview included, can I still connect my Thomson 
PVR/freeview recorder up to it?
thanks

you can.....but you'd have to leave the tv switched on for the tuner to 
powered up.  best bet is to get in indepentand freeview box and hook 
that up to your pvr.

Sorry may have miss read if your pvr has freeview built in, great and 
yes just hook it up like a dvd player.  The main benefit you have is you 
can watch freeview while your pvr records freeview.

Sure, no problem. I have a new (OK, a few months old) Freeview TV, and
have my Toppy (and quite a bit more besides) hooked up to it.

As others have said - yes (provided the TV has the right connections to 
connect to the PVR and I can't imagine many freeview TVs don't have a 
simple scart connection).

Think of the PVR like an old-fashioned VCR. Your TV has a tuner, your 
VCR (or now PVR) has a tuner.  You can connect the VCR (or now PVR) to 
the TV and then choose to watch:
a) Live TV via the TV tuner
b) Live TV via the VCR tuner (or now the PVR tuner)
c) Recorded TV via the VCR recordings (or now the PVR recordings)

The only thing that has changed is the recording is on the PVR hard disk 
instead of a VCR tape (and of course you get all the benefits of 
rewinding/pausing live TV as well as a much simpler process of recording 
programs).

Can you take the HDD to a friends house to watch your recording on his PVR?
(just joking)

yes, you just take the whole PVR, so best to get a small one.
