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

Sagem PVR6280T review

As more and more people warm to the idea of hard drive recording, the willingness to buy into a Sky+-style recording system has resulted in Sagem's PVR6280T. With dual tuners and an 80GB hard drive, a neat idea is turned into something you soon won't be able to live without Read more

BT Vision review

BT is attempting to woo new broadband customers and lock in existing ones with a tempting offer -- a 160GB Freeview PVR with added on-demand content, all for almost nothing. It boasts a lovely looking set of menus and it's very easy to use, but is it worth switching ISP for? Read more

Sharp TU-R160H review

A digital recorder that integrates a sizeable 160GB hard drive for 80 hours of recordings and dual TV tuners, so you can record one programme while you watch another, but this Sharp unit is rather similar to a box from Goodmans we reviewed recently, which is much cheaper 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

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

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

Thomson DTI 6300-16 review

Freeview PVRs are a great way of getting the most out of digital TV, and prices are coming down. The Thomson DTI 6300-16 comes with a Top Up TV starter pack, which increases the amount of TV you can receive, all for under £100 Read more

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

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
