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

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

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

Virgin Media TiVo review

TiVo is a must-have upgrade if you currently get your TV through Virgin Media and want to continue doing so, or if you want the most powerful PVR on the market. For everyone else, there's still much work to be done on the software before we can recommend it as a reason to switch TV providers. 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

Humax HDCI-2000 review

Humax's HDCI-2000 is a satellite tuner that receives experimental free-to-air HDTV signals. Not for the faint-hearted, this box requires a fair bit of setting up, but for initial adopters and those who enjoy tinkering with technology the HDCI-2000 is a toy that should satisfy, and its performance is rewarding 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

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
