Panasonic DMR-EX83 review
The DMR-EX83 is a thoroughly decent Freeview PVR that can record either to its 250GB hard drive or to DVDs, so you can take your recordings on the road. It can't record Freeview HD broadcasts, but its picture quality is excellent, its design is appealing and it's extremely easy to use Read more

TVonics DTR-HV250 review
Pour some Earl Grey into your favourite Queen's Jubilee porcelain mug and sing the national anthem, for the British-made DTR-HV250 is a spiffing Freeview+ PVR. It's costly given its relatively meagre 250GB of storage, but it's built like a Challenger tank and its AV performance is top banana Read more

Panasonic DMR-EX79 review
The DMR-EX79 is one of the better Freeview personal video recorders out there. We wish it were cheaper and sported a second Freeview tuner, but it's a sturdy machine that offers plenty of recording flexibility thanks to its 250GB hard drive and DVD writing capability Read more

Panasonic DMR-BS750 review
We have no idea how Panasonic has managed it, but a box this size has surely never done so many things before. The BS750 lets you watch free high-definition broadcasts, record them to Blu-ray disc and play Blu-ray movies and all their cool online features. You can even watch YouTube. The only problem: the price Read more

Sony RDR-HXD995 review
Despite all the awful shopping channels, there's a wealth of great TV to record on Freeview. For maximum flexibility you'll want a DVD recorder and PVR with plenty of storage space, and that can record cable or satellite from a number of inputs. The Sony RDR-HXD995 fits the bill, with 1080p upscaling to boot Read more

Humax PVR-9200TB and 9200TS review
Humax has replaced its popular 9200T PVR with the 9200TB and 9200TS. These new, improved models now come in two colours and qualify as 'Freeview Playback' PVRs, meaning they include certain features such as dual tuners and the ability to pause live TV Read more

Pioneer's DVR-545HX gives you the flexibility of recording analogue or digital TV channels using the integrated 160GB hard drive or to blank DVDs, including DVD-RAM and dual-layer discs. HDMI out enables video upscaling too Read more

Panasonic DMR-EX85 review
The EX85 is Panasonic's most comprehensively equipped digital recorder. It's crammed with more recording and playback features than you can imagine, including an enormous 250GB hard drive, universal disc compatibility and integrated video scaling. The impressive on-paper specification is supported by quality performance in practice Read more

Pioneer DVR-540HX review
The Pioneer DVR-540HX boasts integrated analogue and digital tuners, universal disc compatibility, a full range of user-friendly functions and the recording performance is excellent if you ignore the lower quality modes. It is slightly pricey, though, and the design is somewhat chunky -- if you want a DVD recorder that looks impressive, you may want to look around Read more

Toshiba RD-85DT review
The RD-85DT features a timeless, stylish design with a decent specification that includes an integrated Freeview tuner -- fast becoming an essential in this market. Connectivity could be better, however -- there's no DV input for camcorder users or an HDMI digital output for upscaled DVD Read more
