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

IP Vision FetchTV SmartBox 8000 review

The IP Vision FetchTV SmartBox 8000 is a good idea, but it has two massive problems in the credit card registration process and Freeview picture quality. While it has some impressive features, we simply can't recommend you spend your money on this Freeview PVR. Read more

TechniSat HDFV review

The TechniSat HDFV is a decent piece of kit with superb picture quality and the advantage of being able to record to USB. We'd like to see its Wi-Fi abilities improved somewhat to allow more exciting features. 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

Virgin Media V HD review

The V HD box is fast, stylish and offers outstanding picture quality. It doesn't have any recording capability but it can access Virgin's on-demand services, and this kind of functionality is where the future really lies. Whether you're using it as your main receiver or a secondary device, the V HD box gets the thumbs up Read more

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

Virgin Media V+ HD review

Virgin Media's V+ HD PVR will let you watch all the usual channels, as well as some in high-definition. The current lack of HD content is a downside, but the hi-def content that you can access looks brilliant, and the video-on-demand and catch-up TV services are also great 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 HD-FOX T2 review

If you're looking for a Freeview HD receiver, the HD-FOX T2 is currently your only option, so it's just as well that it does a cracking job. It's expensive and Freeview HD content is still thin on the ground, but it offers generally good picture quality, it's lightning-quick and its interface feels like a breath of fresh air Read more
