Pause and rewind live tv on a smart tv

Hello. I've acquired a new smart tv and figured out that despite its smartness it doesn't pause or ff/rewind live tv (unless I'm missing something). It also doesnt record obviously.

Luckily we still have the old BT box and it works fine with that to do the above.

As I was hoping to keep the old tv and use it with the BT box in another room, what are the options with the new tv? Can I just add a memory stick to add the pause/rewind functionality, of does it have to be a new Freeview box with memory capacity?

It's this tv

  • our TV has a built in Personal Video Recording function, meaning you can set up recordings from the TV guide directly onto a PVR ready USB memory stick. You can also pause live TV and rewind/fast forward through your recordings. See our great range of tested and compatible PVR ready USB memory sticks at www.umc-uk.co.uk/usb If you wish to use your Sky remote to operate the TV’s basic functions, you will need a Sky remote control (Revision 9 or later) and you will need to program it with the code 2134. If you wish to use your Sky Q remote to operate the TV’s basic functions, you will need to program it with the code 4170.*

Not sure if I viewed the right instructions online, but searching your model, it had the above in the online instructions.
