Typical price: £160
What is it: A FreeView receiver with dual-tuners and a 40GB hard drive recorder
What we think: Freeview just reached a whole new level. The Thomson DHD4000 has it all -- dual tuners so that you can record and watch different programmes, a stylish outer shell and digital audio connections

"Good product - but power supply runs too hot"
What I like:
Excellent software - receivers etc
What I don't like:
Runs too hot - premature failure of electronics
Review:
Good design of software, epg and DVT receivers. No cooling fan for electronics - I know there is a fan under the hard disc. My box has just failed after two years.

Toshiba BDX2000
Offers excellent value for money, especially if you buy it in time to take advantage of the LoveFilm deal
Panasonic DMP-BD45
Its pictures are great and it looks good, but it has zero extra features and costs far too much
Panasonic DMP-BD65
Great little machine that does the important things very well and offers a few tasty extras
Humax HD-FOX T2
Great, if a little expensive for most people, given the small number of hi-def channels broadcast on Freeview
