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

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

Panasonic DMR-EX85 review

The EX85 is Panasonic's most comprehensively equipped digital recorder. It's crammed with more recording and playback features than you can imagine, including an enormous 250GB hard drive, universal disc compatibility and integrated video scaling. The impressive on-paper specification is supported by quality performance in practice Read more

Humax PVR-9200TB and 9200TS review

Humax has replaced its popular 9200T PVR with the 9200TB and 9200TS. These new, improved models now come in two colours and qualify as 'Freeview Playback' PVRs, meaning they include certain features such as dual tuners and the ability to pause live TV Read more

Humax Foxsat-HD (freesat) review

The freesat satellite service is finally here and so is the Humax Foxsat-HD receiver. Although it's one of the first to hit the market, it already feels like a mature product. It's fast, user friendly and offers great picture quality, all while managing to pack all this into a compact and stylish box Read more

Panasonic DMR-EX75 review

Panasonic's DMR-EX75 features a 160GB hard drive and compatibility with all disc formats -- in a single system. This versatility is complemented by excellent usability and great quality images, particularly when upscaled to high definition and output to an HD Ready TV through HDMI. The only drawbacks are the steep price and the single digital tuner Read more

Panasonic DMR-EX79 review

The DMR-EX79 is one of the better Freeview personal video recorders out there. We wish it were cheaper and sported a second Freeview tuner, but it's a sturdy machine that offers plenty of recording flexibility thanks to its 250GB hard drive and DVD writing capability Read more

TVonics DTR-HV250 review

Pour some Earl Grey into your favourite Queen's Jubilee porcelain mug and sing the national anthem, for the British-made DTR-HV250 is a spiffing Freeview+ PVR. It's costly given its relatively meagre 250GB of storage, but it's built like a Challenger tank and its AV performance is top banana Read more

Panasonic TUCTH100 review

Panasonic's first stab at a Freeview recorder doesn't pull any punches -- it features two tuners, a wonderful interface and good connectivity. But its 80GB hard drive isn't overwhelmingly large, and at £80 more than the competition, its value credentials are in doubt Read more
