Sky+HD review

If you're a TV lover, you should seriously consider investing in a Sky+HD box. Sky offers tonnes of glorious hi-def channels, the box is speedy, and there are loads of useful extra features on offer, like remote-recording capability. The £10 fee for accessing the HD channels stinks, though 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

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

Thomson DHD4000 review

The Thomson DHD4000 has dual tuners, so you can record one channel while you're watching another. Even better, the unit constantly buffers two channels, so you can change between them without losing your place. It's not only a fantastically designed piece of consumer electronics, but also one that fundamentally changes the way you watch TV Read more

Humax Foxsat-HDR review

The brilliant Foxsat-HDR is certainly the best freesat personal video recorder on the market at the moment. It's as well designed as it is easy to use, sounds great and has an excellent picture quality that we can't really fault, although the built-in storage could have been bigger 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 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

Virgin Media V HD review

The V HD box is fast, stylish and offers outstanding picture quality. It doesn't have any recording capability but it can access Virgin's on-demand services, and this kind of functionality is where the future really lies. Whether you're using it as your main receiver or a secondary device, the V HD box gets the thumbs up Read more
