Humax HDR-FOX T2 review
The Humax HDR-FOX T2 is a very good Freeview HD PVR that we have no problem recommending. The only issues we have are with its low storage capacity and high price. It's a capable machine, though, that works very well indeed. Read more

Sky+HD 1TB review
The Sky+HD 1TB satellite box is a peach of a PVR. A huge hard drive means you no longer have to ration your recordings and the interface is slick and easy to use. With 3D compatibility and Sky's Anytime+ video-on-demand service just around the corner, it's a must-have upgrade for any self-respecting hi-def obsessive. Read more

Humax Foxsat-HDR review
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

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

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

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

Humax HDCI-2000 review
Humax's HDCI-2000 is a satellite tuner that receives experimental free-to-air HDTV signals. Not for the faint-hearted, this box requires a fair bit of setting up, but for initial adopters and those who enjoy tinkering with technology the HDCI-2000 is a toy that should satisfy, and its performance is rewarding Read more

TVonics DTR-Z500 review
The Freeview+ DTR-Z500 digital TV recorder offers a generous 500GB of storage, a good selection of features and impressive picture quality, although it lacks an HDMI output. Overall, it's a great device that will suit those looking for a simple but comprehensive recorder Read more
