Panasonic DMR-EH60D review
The Panasonic DMR-EH60D is the first DVD/hard-drive recorder with an integrated Freeview tuner, but like many firsts it could use an instant upgrade -- two tuners would mean you could watch something different while recording. It offers excellent recording and playback quality, however 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

Humax PVR-9300T review
If it wasn't for the appalling fan noise, we'd suggest this is the best PVR we've seen in a long time. The operation is simple, the picture quality is very good indeed and the new style is fantastic, with a more modern look than the previous generation. Plus we're big fans of the addition of HDMI output Read more

Humax PVR-9200T review
Humax's PVR-9200T is the most feature-packed and spacious recorder yet. With a 160GB hard drive, dual tuners and a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio output, this is the power user's machine of choice -- in fact, we can't see Freeview getting any better 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

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

TVonics DVR-FP250 review
The TVonics DVR-FP250 is one of the first PVRs to bear the 'Freeview Playback' standard, meaning it can pause live TV, has an eight-day EPG and can track schedule changes. It also boasts a whopping 250GB of memory 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

Panasonic DMR-EX88 review
The Panasonic DMR-EX88 comes with a high-end price tag, but its features are certainly up to scratch. A Freeview recorder PVR with a massive 400GB hard drive and a DVD recorder built in, it will also play Xvid and DivX files and upscale your DVDs. That should clear out some space under the TV Read more

Humax PVR-9150T review
The Humax PVR-9150T is a no-frills, standard-definition Freeview recorder for those still enslaved by Scart. It's dull, but it's quiet and it does what it says on the tin. Read more
