The brilliant Foxsat-HDR is certainly the best freesat personal video recorder on the market at the moment. It's as well designed as it is easy to use, sounds great and has an excellent picture quality that we can't really fault, although the built-in storage could have been bigger Read more

Fairly priced and feature-packed, the Sony BDP-S350 has overtaken the PlayStation 3 as the cheapest and most competent Blu-ray player on the market. Besides the fact that Sony took so long to get it on the market, we don't really have any complaints about this player at all Read more

In spite of the embarrassing acronym, the Pioneer Kuro KRP-500A is a very high-end TV, aimed squarely at the home-cinema enthusiast. With all its inputs and media gubbins in a separate box, it's incredibly thin for such a large panel -- and its picture is magnificent, as you'd expect for such a high price Read more

Quite simply, this is one of the most sensibly priced and best-performing Blu-ray players on the market. With the BD35, Panasonic is proving that stand-alone players can offer decent performance and other advantages such as lower power consumption, nearly silent operation and a much more sensible form factor Read more

If you have the money to burn, this TV is as good as it gets for home entertainment -- unless you want to go the projection route. Its blacks are unparalleled, especially in HD, and Blu-ray looks just as fantastic on the 1080p screen. Watch out for Pioneer's unusual approach to inputs, though Read more

We loved the Popcorn Hour A-100, because for around £150 you got a media streamer that can play virtually every video format under the Sun and has enormous flexibility. Now the company has tweaked the hardware and added some new features, including HDMI 1.3 and SATA support Read more

Toshiba's HD-XE1 is an HD DVD player that can display 1080p high-definition video. It's exceptionally well-built, features a good range of connections and the picture quality is excellent -- if only it supported Blu-ray too... Read more
