Manufacturer's Description
An amazing product, with twin tuners you can record two channels simultaneously and playback a previous recording! Pause live TV, so your in the middle of your favourite program and the phone rings, just press pause, take the call then press play to resume.
from House of Fraser to Tesco,
no one is selling it, we're sorry to say,
not 399 retailers nor anyone on eBay,
but please don't worry even if it hurts,
you can look for alternatives or
