Panasonic DMR-EX79 review

The DMR-EX79 is one of the better Freeview personal video recorders out there. We wish it were cheaper and sported a second Freeview tuner, but it's a sturdy machine that offers plenty of recording flexibility thanks to its 250GB hard drive and DVD writing capability Read more

Panasonic Viera TX-P50X10B review

The 50-inch Viera TX-P50X10B plasma TV is aimed at bargain hunters who don't want to compromise on screen size. Good value for money and stylishly designed, it looks like a more expensive TV and offers very good picture quality too -- most people will never realise it's a 720p, not 1080p, set Read more

Sling Media Slingbox Pro-HD review

As with the original Slingbox Pro, most of this will be overkill for the majority of users who just want to stream their live TV or DVR to their PC or smart phone. But for home cinema enthusiasts and hard-core gadget-heads, the Slingbox Pro-HD may well be worth it Read more

Sony RDR-HXD995 review

Despite all the awful shopping channels, there's a wealth of great TV to record on Freeview. For maximum flexibility you'll want a DVD recorder and PVR with plenty of storage space, and that can record cable or satellite from a number of inputs. The Sony RDR-HXD995 fits the bill, with 1080p upscaling to boot Read more

Panasonic DMR-EX88 review

The Panasonic DMR-EX88 comes with a high-end price tag, but its features are certainly up to scratch. A Freeview recorder PVR with a massive 400GB hard drive and a DVD recorder built in, it will also play Xvid and DivX files and upscale your DVDs. That should clear out some space under the TV Read more
