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

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

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

Pioneer DVR-540HX review
The Pioneer DVR-540HX boasts integrated analogue and digital tuners, universal disc compatibility, a full range of user-friendly functions and the recording performance is excellent if you ignore the lower quality modes. It is slightly pricey, though, and the design is somewhat chunky -- if you want a DVD recorder that looks impressive, you may want to look around 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
