Sony SVR-S500 review

Sony SVR-S500 review

Sony's SVR-S500 is one of the few PVRs that feature dual integrated TV tuners, which let you watch one programme while you record another. It's attractively designed and performance is impressive, with good detail and contrast even in the lowest quality mode. If you can ignore the few usability issues, this is a good buy 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

Sagem DTR 67500T review

Although the DTR 67500T Freeview personal video recorder doesn't have the best design or most attractive menu system we've seen, we can't fault its actual performance. Easy to use, it offers plenty of storage space and excellent picture quality, while the ability to transfer your recordings to a USB stick is very welcome Read more

Panasonic DMR-EX83 review

The DMR-EX83 is a thoroughly decent Freeview PVR that can record either to its 250GB hard drive or to DVDs, so you can take your recordings on the road. It can't record Freeview HD broadcasts, but its picture quality is excellent, its design is appealing and it's extremely easy to use 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

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

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

Philips DVDR5500 review

There are a lot of ugly, chunky DVD recorders on the market, but the Philips DVDR5500 certainly isn't one of them. A slick black and mirrored chrome finish this slim-line unit, and it provides a straightforward way to record TV with the built-in Freeview tuner 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

Evesham iPlayer review

The Evesham iPlayer is a Freeview PVR with HDMI out. Not only does this box upscale Freeview TV, it also allows you to play high-definition content off your network, portable hard drives and USB memory sticks Read more
