Typical price: £299
What is it: A Freeview recorder that can upscale pictures and send them to your TV via HDMI

We like:
Ability to playback files from a memory stick; network features; HDMI output
We don't like:
High price; lack of second freeview tuner

HDMI cable; external hard drive or memory stick
