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

Grundig freesat receiver (GUFSAT01) review
The Grundig freesat receiver (GUFSAT01) is an excellent option for the 27 per cent of UK who do not get a Freeview signal to switch over from analogue to digital. The box itself is pretty fast at responding to the remote commands and is a good size, with a generous helping of ports Read more

Thomson DHD4000 review
The Thomson DHD4000 has dual tuners, so you can record one channel while you're watching another. Even better, the unit constantly buffers two channels, so you can change between them without losing your place. It's not only a fantastically designed piece of consumer electronics, but also one that fundamentally changes the way you watch TV Read more

Virgin Media V+ HD review
Virgin Media's V+ HD PVR will let you watch all the usual channels, as well as some in high-definition. The current lack of HD content is a downside, but the hi-def content that you can access looks brilliant, and the video-on-demand and catch-up TV services are also great Read more

Goodmans GDB300HD review
The Goodmans GDB300HD is a good Freeview HD box that does the job for a pretty small sum of money. At around £70, we think it represents a great deal. 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
