I have a Samsung LED TV which I want to record?

I have a UE46D5520 Samsung LED TV, it has a freeview tuner built in, I want to be able to record and pause live TV, the menu has a record option but obviously doesnt work as there is no storage in the TV. My question is what is the best way of achieving this, I dont really want to buy a freeview recorder as I already have a freeview tuner in the TV so see it as a bit of a waste when they are about £200. I dont mind that I only have one tuner as I have two of the TV's, I just want a way to record programs , also I have a PS3 connected but have discounted Play TV as although cheap it seems a pain. Also where I live I cant get Sky or Virgin media or even a satalite dish so im limited to freeview. Thanks for any advice or what you have done to get around this recording issue, I thought that as a "smart" tv you could plug in an external hard drive and use that so record but Samsung says it wont work. Any ideas.
Answer:

The best way is to get a standalone Freeview Plus DVR. It can record two channels at once (or record one watch another live), and record TV programmes when the TV is turned off. To use your TV as a minimal DVR, you might just need to add a hard-drive. If Samsung says you cannot, then you cannot. See first paragraph.
