Sky+HD 1TB review

The Sky+HD 1TB satellite box is a peach of a PVR. A huge hard drive means you no longer have to ration your recordings and the interface is slick and easy to use. With 3D compatibility and Sky's Anytime+ video-on-demand service just around the corner, it's a must-have upgrade for any self-respecting hi-def obsessive. Read more

Humax Foxsat-HDR review

The brilliant Foxsat-HDR is certainly the best freesat personal video recorder on the market at the moment. It's as well designed as it is easy to use, sounds great and has an excellent picture quality that we can't really fault, although the built-in storage could have been bigger 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

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

Sagem DTR 67500T review

Although the DTR 67500T Freeview personal video recorder doesn't have the best design or most attractive menu system we've seen, we can't fault its actual performance. Easy to use, it offers plenty of storage space and excellent picture quality, while the ability to transfer your recordings to a USB stick is very welcome Read more

Panasonic DMR-BS750 review

We have no idea how Panasonic has managed it, but a box this size has surely never done so many things before. The BS750 lets you watch free high-definition broadcasts, record them to Blu-ray disc and play Blu-ray movies and all their cool online features. You can even watch YouTube. The only problem: the price 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

Thomson DHD4000 review

The Thomson DHD4000 has dual tuners, so you can record one channel while you're watching another. Even better, the unit constantly buffers two channels, so you can change between them without losing your place. It's not only a fantastically designed piece of consumer electronics, but also one that fundamentally changes the way you watch TV 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
