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

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

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-EX89 review
The DMR-EX89 Freeview personal video recorder is pricey, although, if you can afford it, we doubt you'll be disappointed. We'd like to see a second Freeview tuner included, but this machine looks good and offers plenty of flexibility, letting you record to both DVDs and its 400GB hard drive Read more

Humax HDR-FOX T2 review
The Humax HDR-FOX T2 is a very good Freeview HD PVR that we have no problem recommending. The only issues we have are with its low storage capacity and high price. It's a capable machine, though, that works very well indeed. Read more

Humax PVR-9200TB and 9200TS review
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

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

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

TVonics DTR-Z500 review
The Freeview+ DTR-Z500 digital TV recorder offers a generous 500GB of storage, a good selection of features and impressive picture quality, although it lacks an HDMI output. Overall, it's a great device that will suit those looking for a simple but comprehensive recorder Read more
