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-EX75 review

Panasonic's DMR-EX75 features a 160GB hard drive and compatibility with all disc formats -- in a single system. This versatility is complemented by excellent usability and great quality images, particularly when upscaled to high definition and output to an HD Ready TV through HDMI. The only drawbacks are the steep price and the single digital tuner Read more

TVonics DTR-HV250 review

Pour some Earl Grey into your favourite Queen's Jubilee porcelain mug and sing the national anthem, for the British-made DTR-HV250 is a spiffing Freeview+ PVR. It's costly given its relatively meagre 250GB of storage, but it's built like a Challenger tank and its AV performance is top banana Read more

Panasonic DMR-EX79 review

The DMR-EX79 is one of the better Freeview personal video recorders out there. We wish it were cheaper and sported a second Freeview tuner, but it's a sturdy machine that offers plenty of recording flexibility thanks to its 250GB hard drive and DVD writing capability 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

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

Toshiba RD-85DT review

The RD-85DT features a timeless, stylish design with a decent specification that includes an integrated Freeview tuner -- fast becoming an essential in this market. Connectivity could be better, however -- there's no DV input for camcorder users or an HDMI digital output for upscaled DVD Read more

Humax has replaced its popular 9200T PVR with the 9200TB and 9200TS. These new, improved models now come in two colours and qualify as 'Freeview Playback' PVRs, meaning they include certain features such as dual tuners and the ability to pause live TV Read more
