Humax PVR-9300: HDMI, new design and a big hard drive

Crave Humax has also decided to jump on the HDMI bandwagon, too. We're pretty big fans of Humax PVRs here. They have proven to be reliable and feature-rich, if a little beastly looking. Happily, there's a new model in town and it's adds a bunch of new...

Lindy 4-port HDMI switch: For people with too many devices

Profigold PROV1015: Long-distance 1080p with 15m HDMI cable

Crave It transpired it was in fact an HDMI cable. But not just any HDMI cable, a 15m-long Profigold PROV1015, which went some way to explaining the prodigious weight. Plugging the connector into an HDMI socket resulted in a firm contact and no fear that...

Philips 32PF9830: Ambilight of my life

Crave Regular LCD TVs are just so boring -- they're all so preoccupied with 'HD Ready' badges and HDMI sockets that they forget about design. The TV not only has HDMI and DVI inputs (both HDCP ready for Sky HD), but it features the latest Pixel Plus 2...

Sharp 9 Series LCDs: Double your hi-def vision

Crave Let's take a quick head count of high-definition devices that rely on HDMI inputs. So, why are so many new screens still arriving with only one HDMI input? It must be a lonely life being an HDMI input -- you're stuck on your own, forming casual...

Toshiba SD-350E: Nearly HD DVD

Crave If you're buying one now, it has to be an all-singing, all-dancing upscaling player with an HDMI digital video output and DivX playback, or else we won't even think about looking at it. Toshiba's player is a close competitor to Samsung's, and both...

Profigold PROV7101: Yes, it is a Scart cable and no, it isn't 1994

Crave If you haven't already taken all of your old, non-HDMI equipment and set fire to it in an analogue amnesty, then we'll be round later with a box of matches and some lighter fluid to make things right.

Sony RDR-HXD860: Now with Freeview

Crave The RDR-HX725 didn't have an integrated Freeview tuner or an HDMI output, which didn't make us happy. The HDMI output offers 720p/1080i upscaling, enabling you to get the best out of your HD-ready LCD or plasma.
