Freeview is, in itself, just a service that transmits TV signals terrestrially. It's no more able to provide any type of recording facility than, say, your local radio transmitter does.
However you can buy set-top boxes that add in recording facilities (including 'pause'). The brand leader is undoubtedly Humax:

(The model shown there has a 500 GB drive, providing up to 250 hours recording time. There are also 1 TB and 2 TB versions available, at £218 and £268 respectively).

I have a HUMAX HDR-FOX T2 PVR which is a few years old now. I can record, playback & rewind Freeview channels via the PVR. However the subtitles playback on recorded Freeview channels are always out of sync with the subtitles appearing too soon. Subtitles recorded on channels 1,2,3,4,& 5 always playback in sync. Neither Humax or the TV companies can tell me why this happens. I don't think I will buy another Humax.
