| Review summary | The Humax Foxsat-HD is a top class high-definition receiver and gets the freesat service off to a great start. All that's needed now is more freesat HD channels to truly make the most of its high definition capabilities Read full review |
We've tested several stand-alone video players, but the Mvisto trounces them all. Its support for a huge range of video codecs is reason enough to lust after the device. Not content to stop there, Mvisto have designed an on-screen navigation system that puts most media centres to shame Read full review |
We've given this excellent machine a score of 9, but it comes with the obvious 'but', which is simply that it's far too expensive. £900 is more than enough to buy a £300 freesat PVR and a £200 Blu-ray player and still have pots of cash left over. Sure, the Blu-ray recording is unique, but is it really that valuable to you? Read full review |
While some home cinema systems are Jacks of all trades, Pioneer's LX01 attempts to master everything from watching and listening to recordings -– but unrivalled features and high-end performance come at an inflated price Read full review |

Panasonic SC-BTX70
Well-specified and its picture quality is first-rate, but it doesn't quite sound awesome enough to justify its cost
Sony BDP-S760
At last, we have the awesome Blu-ray player we've so long suspected Sony was capable of making
