Solution
If it's a "smart TV", yes. Most smart TV sets allows you to connect an external hard drive to it via USB.

Ordinary (non-smart) TV sets don't have the required recording software, and probably no USB port either, so you can't use them for recording to a hard drive).

You could buy a PVR device such as https://www.alza.co.uk/hyundai-dvb-4h631-pvr-black-d2645245.htm?kampan=adeupla-uk_low_produkty_dvb-t-pozemni&country=GB&gclid=CPWNmcCNvssCFdYK0wodIr4JPw to take the TV input and record onto an external drive. However, there is a cost and it takes time to set up. However, Philip was right in that if it is not a smart tv, it will not be able to record.

If you reply with the model number of the tv, we might be able to determine if it is possible.

Hope this helps
