What we think: Offering far more power than a standard digital receiver, this will transform the way you watch TV

Tags: sagem, hard drive, channels, stereo
We like:
Ease of use; dual tuners; can easily pick up a digital signal
We don't like:
Mundane design; slightly confusing interface; poor manual; won't record two channels simultaneously
You might also need:
Digital optical audio cable; aerial
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Sagem's box might look uninspiring, but it offers a Sky+-style recording system for Freeview. There are so many benefits to having a Freeview PVR, and Sagem manages to nail it with a great EPG and dual tuner functionality. The 80GB hard drive also offers 45 hours of recording, which should satisfy even the power user

Sagem PVR 7280T: French Freeview recording
The latest Freeview recorder from those clever hommes across the Channel packs dual tuners, an 80GB hard drive and a TopUp TV slot. It's not the best looking model on the market, but if you're yet to take to the PVR dream, it's a good way to get started in time for Christmas

It's playback time: Freeview hard-drive recorders
If you've not yet made the upgrade to Freeview, you should think about spending that little bit more and buying an integrated recorder. These devices don't just record, they also enable you to pause live TV, rewind through what you've been watching and cut out the ad breaks...

Sagem's PVR6280T (another catchy name, nice work guys) is a new Freeview recorder, with dual tuners and an 80GB hard drive. Power to the people we say -- now all we need is something on Freeview worth recording
