What is it: Freeview DVD recorder with built-in 250GB hard drive
What we think: Well designed, easy to use and fully featured, it's just a shame its Freeview receiver is such a slouch
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 29 August 2008
We like:
Picture quality; 250GB storage capacity; ease of use
We don't like:
GuidePlus+ is a pain; no included HDMI cable makes us grumpy; Freeview tuner very bad at picking up a signal
You might also need:
HDMI cable; blank DVD media; pre-recorded DVDs
CNET UK judgement:
Overall a good machine, but it has some problems, and we'd suggest you check the strength of the Freeview signal in your area before you invest. Otherwise its performance and value for money make it worthy of your time

Panasonic DMR-BS750
A terrific machine, and very affordable if you're called Bill Gates or you've just had a lottery win -- but rather pricey for everyone else
Pioneer LX01BD
Top-notch picture and sound quality make this a system to lust after. The only real catch is the price
