Panasonic DMRES20D review

The ES20D is Panasonic's first DVD recorder and digital tuner combo unit, offering high-quality picture recordings and convenient scheduling from the electronic programme guide, which is integrated beautifully. The unit's lack of a hard drive is its major weakness, as a DVD isn't big enough to record all your programmes while on holiday 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

Sagem PVR 7280T review

A mid-range recorder that's perfect for the modern home thanks to its modest hard-drive capacity and easy-to-use recording system, the 7280T is mundane to look at, and it won't record two channels at once, but if you're looking for a cut-price version of the Panasonic and Humax power recorders, it's still worth buying Read more

Sharp TUT2HR32 review

Sharp's TUT2HR32 Freeview+HD recorder ticks the right boxes, with twin HD tuners, a 320GB hard drive and bright, colourful interface. Unfortunately, it also generates more fan noise than a Take That concert. Read more

IP Vision FetchTV SmartBox 8000 review

The IP Vision FetchTV SmartBox 8000 is a good idea, but it has two massive problems in the credit card registration process and Freeview picture quality. While it has some impressive features, we simply can't recommend you spend your money on this Freeview PVR. Read more
