Goodmans GHD8015F review

Goodmans GHD8015F review

If nothing else, Goodman's GHD8015F is great value for money -- a dual-tuner PVR with an 80GB hard drive for less than £100. The design is archaic and functionality is basic, but it does the important things well, such as playing and recording. It's an ideal replacement for an old VCR Read more

TVonics DVR-FP250 review

The TVonics DVR-FP250 is one of the first PVRs to bear the 'Freeview Playback' standard, meaning it can pause live TV, has an eight-day EPG and can track schedule changes. It also boasts a whopping 250GB of memory Read more

Panasonic DMR-EX77 review

Stuck the VHS in the loft? Need to record something while you're at a barbecue? Panasonic's latest solution is the EX77, a 160GB hard-disk Freeview PVR with a DVD burner built in. This means you can archive old programmes and keep those classic shows you can't bear to delete Read more

Panasonic DMR-EX88 review

The Panasonic DMR-EX88 comes with a high-end price tag, but its features are certainly up to scratch. A Freeview recorder PVR with a massive 400GB hard drive and a DVD recorder built in, it will also play Xvid and DivX files and upscale your DVDs. That should clear out some space under the TV Read more

Humax PVR-9150T review

The Humax PVR-9150T is a no-frills, standard-definition Freeview recorder for those still enslaved by Scart. It's dull, but it's quiet and it does what it says on the tin. Read more

Sagem DTR 64160T review

The easy-to-use DTR 64160T is a capable Freeview recorder that represents extremely good value for money. It's a fairly hideous-looking machine, but it offers good picture and audio quality, plenty of useful features, and the 160GB of storage should be more than enough for the casual user Read more

Sony RDR-HXD995 review

Despite all the awful shopping channels, there's a wealth of great TV to record on Freeview. For maximum flexibility you'll want a DVD recorder and PVR with plenty of storage space, and that can record cable or satellite from a number of inputs. The Sony RDR-HXD995 fits the bill, with 1080p upscaling to boot Read more

Philips DVDR5520H review

The Philips DVDR5520H's main attraction is its built-in Freeview PVR. DVD and support for downloaded Internet material is also available. It looks sleek and attractive and has excellent connectivity, and a very well laid out electronic programme guide. Picture and sound quality are also good, with full 1080p upscaling Read more

Digital Vision GiGo review

The GiGo Freeview personal video recorder doesn't have the best build quality you'll ever encounter and it's a fairly ugly piece of kit. But it does what it does -- recording programmes to USB storage -- very well, and will appeal to those who want to take their TV out and about Read more

Philips DVDR5500 review

There are a lot of ugly, chunky DVD recorders on the market, but the Philips DVDR5500 certainly isn't one of them. A slick black and mirrored chrome finish this slim-line unit, and it provides a straightforward way to record TV with the built-in Freeview tuner Read more
