Panasonic DMR-ES10 review

The AV performance and quality of recordings by the ES10 can't be beaten, even by more expensive players. And with component outputs as well, this great-value recorder will even make a good accompaniment to a flat-screen display Read more

Dual-tuner Freeview PVRs

When Freeview PVRs arrived, it was easy to see how the ability to pause live TV and record to a hard drive would revolutionise the way we watch TV. The first-generation devices only had one tuner though, and hence the ability to only record and watch one channel. When dual tuner devices arrived, the dream was finally realised -- you could record one channel to the hard drive while watching another Read more

It's playback time: Freeview hard-drive recorders

If you've not yet made the upgrade to Freeview, you should think about spending that little bit more and buying an integrated recorder. These devices don't just record, they also enable you to pause live TV, rewind through what you've been watching and cut out the ad breaks... Read more

Panasonic TUCTH100 review

Panasonic's first stab at a Freeview recorder doesn't pull any punches -- it features two tuners, a wonderful interface and good connectivity. But its 80GB hard drive isn't overwhelmingly large, and at £80 more than the competition, its value credentials are in doubt Read more

Panasonic Viera TH37PV500 review

This Viera may well be expensive, but you're buying a TV that's been crafted with loving care. The image quality is startlingly good -- anyone who had written plasma off should be pleasantly surprised by the colour and contrast depth of this brand-new panel Read more

Plasma perfection: the 42-inch flat-screen shootout

Want a flat screen that won't break the bank? LCD is expensive at the 32-inch mark, and into the crazy price bracket above that. But plasmas offer big screen thrills at a competitive price -- three of the models here are well under £2,000... Read more

Panasonic DMR-EH60D review

The Panasonic DMR-EH60D is the first DVD/hard-drive recorder with an integrated Freeview tuner, but like many firsts it could use an instant upgrade -- two tuners would mean you could watch something different while recording. It offers excellent recording and playback quality, however Read more

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

Panasonic TX26LXD52 review

The follow-up to the similarly-named TX26LXD50 has one important difference -- an HDMI input. This may not sound like enough for an update, but it means the TV can receive high-definition content when it becomes available -- and the picture's as good as ever Read more

Panasonic TH42PE50 review

The TH42PE50's picture quality is very nice, the Freeview adaptor is very welcome, and the ability to record to SD card may appeal to those with portable media centres. However, without even the most basic connectors and an unbelievably low screen resolution, the Panasonic looks outdated by years Read more
