Sony BDV-E370 review
The Sony BDV-E370 is not a bad piece of kit if you can get it for closer to £300 than £500. 3D is a great bonus and we did like most of the features of this home cinema system. Sound wasn't perfect but, for smaller rooms, it's pretty reasonable. Read more

Panasonic SC-PT870 review
It doesn't look like anyone at Panasonic HQ had much fun designing the SC-PT870 but it's a good 5.1-channel home-cinema system nevertheless. Music played via the USB socket isn't much cop, but the system performs admirably otherwise, delivering particularly impressive sound with movies Read more

Western Digital WD TV Live review
The 1080p-capable WD TV Live may not be quite as flexible as more expensive networked media streamers, but it's hard to find real fault in this machine, given its bargain-basement price. It does a great job of getting video from your computer to your TV, and should satisfy most users Read more

The WD TV is a really well-designed and well-executed little media streamer that manages to outshine devices that cost significantly more. With good codec support, an appealing user interface and excellent 1080p video playback, it's hard to dislike this machine Read more
