We like:
Startlingly good picture quality; exceptional feature set; 7.1-channel analogue outputs; brilliant value for money
We don't like:
Not particularly attractive; Wi-Fi connections occasionally seem slow; very minor picture-judder issue
CNET UK judgement:

Humax HD-FOX T2
Great, if a little expensive for most people, given the small number of hi-def channels broadcast on Freeview
Sony BDP-S360
Great little machine for a sensible price, although its feature set and load times won't set the world alight
Panasonic SC-BTX70
Well-specified and its picture quality is first-rate, but it doesn't quite sound awesome enough to justify its cost
