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

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

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 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

Goodmans GDB300HD review

The Goodmans GDB300HD is a good Freeview HD box that does the job for a pretty small sum of money. At around £70, we think it represents a great deal. Read more

TVonics DTR-Z500HD review

The TVonics DTR-Z500HD is a fast and funky Freeview HD digital recorder. Supremely easy to use, it's an ideal choice if you're upgrading from analogue TV. While there are some standard-definition recording-quality issues, its hi-def performance is terrific. Read more
