Pioneer LX01BD review

If you can afford it, the LX01BD Blu-ray player with surround-sound speaker system will prove well worth your cash. Disc load times are excruciatingly slow but it's a beautiful and cleverly designed package that offers fantastic picture and sound quality, with great audio-codec support Read more

Onkyo TX-NR5007 review

The 9.2-channel TX-NR5007 is our favourite AV receiver so far. It's immensely powerful, so it's ideally suited to people with a dedicated -- and large -- home-cinema room. If you have a smaller room, it will still prove wonderful, but you won't be able to turn the volume up high without demolishing your walls Read more

Popcorn Hour A-110 review

We loved the Popcorn Hour A-100, because for around £150 you got a media streamer that can play virtually every video format under the Sun and has enormous flexibility. Now the company has tweaked the hardware and added some new features, including HDMI 1.3 and SATA support Read more

Popcorn Hour A-210 review

Popcorn Hour media players never fail to win our respect. Comprehensive media playback, a comparatively simple user interface and well-built hardware make them easy to love. The A-210 doesn't move the game on much, but it's accomplished at what it does and we'd spend our own money on one in a heartbeat. Read more

Popcorn Hour C-200 review

If you thought media streamers don't get better than the Popcorn Hour A-100 and A-110, the C-200 may make you revise your opinion. Read more

Sling Media Slingbox Pro review

The Slingbox Pro hasn't ventured too far from the features that made the original so successful. It still lets you watch and control your home TV on an Internet-enabled laptop or mobile phone, but hi-def HDMI input has been added, and the video processing speeded up Read more

Onkyo TX-NR906 review

The TX-NR906 AV receiver looks stunning, can decode almost anything you throw at it and, combined with a good set of speakers, offers sound that is nothing short of epic. The price tag is steep but this device may be the answer to many home-cinema enthusiasts' prayers Read more

Sling Media Slingbox Solo review

While it's an entry-level alternative to the Slingbox Pro, the Sling Media Slingbox Solo is a pretty good looking younger sibling. With its contemporary air, it's small and finished in glossy metal. Its main function allows you to watch your home TV remotely, making it more than just a pretty face Read more

Samsung HT-BD1252 review

The 5.1-channel HT-BD1252 Blu-ray home-cinema kit offers excellent value for money. Its tall speakers feel rather plasticky and their sound quality isn't the best we've ever heard, but the whole package looks slick and its video quality is excellent. The iPod dock is a welcome bonus too Read more
