Typical price: £300
What is it: A combi DVD/HD recorder with integrated 160GB hard drive
What we think: Packed with features, the Liteon LVW-5045 is good value. AV performance might not be up with the big-brand-name competitors, but it's not as expensive either

"The light's not on for Liteon"
What I like:
It was a good price and reviews appeared to rate it quite well
What I don't like:
It continually cuts recording short, it ejects the DVD for no reason and switches itself on and off
Review:
At first I thought I had a good bargain, but once I installed it I realised all was not well. Using either VideoPlus or manual timing the recorder seemed to cut off randomly during the recording. There was no overlap and each time I double and even treble checked but it still didn't work. On top of this the unit kept turning itself off and on at random which of course played havoc with any recording I had set up and even stranger was the fact that the DVD kept ejecting itself. I took it back and changed it for a new one but it's doing the same. I am taking it back and getting my money back.

Well-specified and its picture quality is first-rate, but it doesn't quite sound awesome enough to justify its cost

At last, we have the awesome Blu-ray player we've so long suspected Sony was capable of making
