It's not strange at all ... the dvd recorder can only record one thing at a time and you have another tv tuner in your tv (analog or digital) to watch. That's no different from a vhs machine. With a HDD-dvd recorder you can watch something from the HDD while you are recording something else ... you'd need a second vcr to do that.
Since you can only record one thing at a time, a second tuner on a dvd recorder would be a bit pointless. OK, you could use it to "pass thru" a signal to your tv, but you're just duplicating the tuner that's already on the tv (or Freeview box) and it would be an additional expense to the manufacturer.
