I want to get one for my mum, preferably 19".

I've looked but can't seem to find any ones with freeview recording, as opposed to the usual tuner.

I could of course simply get a set top box, e.g. humax, but I'd rather get something slim and integrated.

Thanks.

There are a few (eg. Humax) TVs with a built-in PVR including hard-disc storage and additional tuner to record/watch different channels. These are normally 26" and over.
Bear in mind, that a widescreen set of 26" is equivalent to a smaller (20" or so) conventional TV.

For TVs with a single digital tuner, which can record to a USB memory device (eg. flash card/pen drive or external USB HDD), there are 19" models, eg. this Technika at Tesco and this Bush at Argos. Similar models with built-in DVD playback are also available.

They do still exist if you google around, but usually in larger sizes

See here
Which TV with built in PVR....

bear in mind that a lot of small screen sets have very odd sizes of screen. the Tesco Technika is 1440 x 900. I guess some of these sets scale to give a correct picture, but in my experience they don't seem to bother.

JVC still make 26" & 32" TVs with built-in twin tuner PVRs. Latest model numbers are LT-26DE1 and LT-32DE1. The PVR section is basically the same as the Humax PVR-9150.
