Canon Digital IXUS 50 review

Reviews This 5-megapixel addition to the Canon Digital IXUS line has more in common with its 4-megapixel IXUS 40 sibling than it does with the top-of-the-line 7-megapixel IXUS 700. FeaturesThe Canon Digital IXUS 50's feature set is, like its IXUS 40...

Connect your digital devices

Reviews USB has replaced these slower ports for connecting printers and other devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players and handhelds. Most PCs today have front-mounted ports that make it more convenient to connect digital devices such as a digital...

Sony RDR-HX725 review

Reviews Since Sony was one of the first manufacturers to equip its recorders with an integrated digital TV tuner it's a surprise that the HX725 is conspicuous by the absence of one. In an attempt to overcome the absence of an integrated digital tuner Sony...

HDTV basics

Reviews No matter how nice a TV you buy, there isn't much you can do to make normal TV, including digital cable or satellite, look better. It has been fairly well publicised that the government will be switching off the analogue television signal to make...

Sagem PVR6280T review

Reviews Sagem first made a name for itself in the digital TV receiver market for boxes that included multimedia card reader. This is supposed to be the digital age, after all. On the audio side, there's an optical output which will provide a digital signal...

Archos AV 700 TV review

Reviews You can also, of course, connect the AV 700 TV to your television or projector and use the device as a digital tuner -- although it isn't possible to get a high-quality RGB video signal out of it. One or two channels took a while to be found by the...

LG 32LT75 review

Reviews With the death of VHS came a new opportunity -- recorders that simply store digital TV on computer hard drives instead of on messy, bulky, low-quality tape. The TV can also output Dolby Digital or PCM digital sound via its optical audio output.

Sony Vaio VGX-XL302 review

Reviews Sony's latest Media Center PC has pretty much everything you could ask for in an entertainment machine, including dual digital TV tuners, a decent graphics card and a Blu-ray drive that lets you watch the latest blockbuster movies in high definition.

Thomson DTI 6300-16 review

Reviews Freeview PVRs are a great way of getting the most out of digital TV. There's a pair of Scart sockets, a coaxial digital audio out, analogue audio out and of course inputs and outputs for the aerial. The Freeview PVR functionality works in a similar...

Sharp TU-R160H review

Reviews This is a no-frills digital recorder that integrates a sizeable 160GB hard drive (80 hours of recordings) and dual TV tuners, which allow you to record one programme while you watch another -- but not record two channels at the same time.

Samsung LE40N73B review

Reviews If, like most people, you're waiting for the high-definition dust to settle, you can continue watching standard TV broadcasts using the integrated analogue and digital tuners -- with an accompanying CI card slot for TopUp TV's subscription channels.

Dual-tuner PVRs

Reviews The best models include dual digital TV tuners, which essentially means that you can record one Freeview channel while you watch another. These digital recording devices allow you to store hours of footage on to an integrated hard drive without the...

Sony KDL-L32MRX1 review

Reviews The KDL-L32MRX1's VGA input is compatible with all computers (PC or Mac), but as the TV is a digital display, it would have made sense to use a DVI digital video connector. Freeview has been a massive success since its launch, and now that it's...

Panasonic DMR-EX85 review

Reviews There's integrated analogue and digital TV tuners and an SD card slot that allows you to store and edit JPEG images from a digital camera, while a dedicated DV input means you can directly copy camcorder footage.

Thomson DHD4000 review

Reviews But it's a free and easy way of getting digital TV, and for that we should be thankful, especially due to the high cost of Sky and cable TV. The only notable flourish is the digital audio output, which allows you to send a clean audio feed to your...
