Panasonic DMR-EH80V review

Panasonic's DVD recorders are renowned for ease-of-use, boding well for a machine that dares to combine DVD, hard drive and VHS recording. While recorders that feature the former two are commonplace, the addition of VHS is relatively rare and a useful function for many Read more

InFocus ScreenPlay 7210 review

The mid-range 7210's picture quality is excellent, with rich colours and smooth imaging, especially through the HDMI or component inputs. The projector is mundanely designed and noisy at times, but if you're looking for something to go at the centre of your home-cinema setup, this will do your movie viewing proud Read more

Philips HTS8000S review

Every part of the HTS8000S system has been placed on a strict diet by Philips -- the subwoofer can be hung on the wall, the DVD player is a unique vertical design and the speakers could easily be tucked away on a bookshelf. Judged as a limited 2.1 system, it performs well and provides excellent video quality Read more

Dual-tuner Freeview PVRs

When Freeview PVRs arrived, it was easy to see how the ability to pause live TV and record to a hard drive would revolutionise the way we watch TV. The first-generation devices only had one tuner though, and hence the ability to only record and watch one channel. When dual tuner devices arrived, the dream was finally realised -- you could record one channel to the hard drive while watching another Read more

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

Sagem PVR 7280T review

A mid-range recorder that's perfect for the modern home thanks to its modest hard-drive capacity and easy-to-use recording system, the 7280T is mundane to look at, and it won't record two channels at once, but if you're looking for a cut-price version of the Panasonic and Humax power recorders, it's still worth buying Read more

Panasonic TX26LXD52 review

The follow-up to the similarly-named TX26LXD50 has one important difference -- an HDMI input. This may not sound like enough for an update, but it means the TV can receive high-definition content when it becomes available -- and the picture's as good as ever 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

Panasonic DVD-LS90 review

Thanks to its highly adjustable neck, the DVD-LS90 is perfect for watching DVDs from any angle, and it sounds great too. But its large screen has a relatively low resolution, so the picture quality is very poor Read more
