The Panasonic DMR-XW380 is a sleek PVR, and one that we think everyone will enjoy using. The problem is the hard drive is too small, it's too expensive and you can't save HD recordings to DVD. Read more

Oppo DV-980H review
First things first -- we love this DVD player for ignoring DVD region coding. But that isn't all it does: the Oppo DV-980H does just about everything else, too, including producing 1080p pictures. It may be expensive, but for what you're getting, it's great value and will be worth it for those who want to watch their DVDs in amazingly high quality Read more

Toshiba HD-EP30 review
The Toshiba HD-EP30 has much to live up to and with 1080p playback, it's well on its way. It also supports 24p out of the box, not to mention DTS HD, Dolby True HD and Dolby Digital Plus output options. With great detail and accurate colours on HD DVD, this Toshiba beats the hype Read more
