Virgin Media TiVo review
TiVo is a must-have upgrade if you currently get your TV through Virgin Media and want to continue doing so, or if you want the most powerful PVR on the market. For everyone else, there's still much work to be done on the software before we can recommend it as a reason to switch TV providers. 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.

It's not only a fantastically designed piece of consumer electronics, but also one that fundamentally changes the way you watch TV 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
