Can you record freeview from a tv with freeview built in with the tv switched off?

I am thinking about buying a new tv with a built in freeview tuner. I was told by a friend that I may have trouble recording freeview with the tv switched off - is this true?

Answer:
your friend is right, most manufactores have not allowerd you to record the digitial freeview onto a recording device. The only tv makers who have been nice enough to think of this is LG they have a a scart output just for this.

hope this helps wg
no you can,t
