Topfield TRF-2460 Masterpiece HD Plus

CNET Rating6.0

March 9th, 2012 - The TRF-2460 does what it's set out to do well and the Ice TV feature is handy, but the almost identically specified TRF-7170 undercuts it on price by a handy margin. 2
Telstra T-Box

CNET Rating5.0

User Rating3.5

February 7th, 2012 - Telstra's T-Box is a great storefront for BigPond Movies, but it is seriously lacking as a PVR and as the central component in a home theatre. 255
Topfield TRF-7170

CNET Rating7.6

December 19th, 2011 - The TRF-7170 is a fully featured 1TB twin tuner PVR that does its job — just don't expect any servings of panache.
Pioneer BDP-140

November 23rd, 2011 - Pioneer's entry-level 3D Blu-ray player isn't exactly feature-packed, but it has a pleasant design, good file format compatibility and also plays SACDs.

Pioneer BDP-440

November 22nd, 2011 - Pioneer appears to be going for the serious enthusiast crowd over the mainstream one with this mid-range model, with DVD-Audio and SACD playback as standard. However, the new BDP-440 lacks built-in Wi-Fi, which reduces its value to the average consumer.

TiVo XL

November 10th, 2011 - Every time an American late night comedian name checks TiVo, a pang of unrequited techno-lust flashes through our system. Will the new TiVo XL fix all that?
Optus MeTV with Fetch

User Rating5.0

October 24th, 2011 - The new Optus MeTV with Fetch marries a three-tuner HD PVR with ability to stream and store on-demand movies and TV series for the low, low price of AU$9.95 per month. 2
Humax HDR-7500T

CNET Rating7.2

October 10th, 2011 - Humax's HDR-7500T is a solid performer if you're after a PVR, but for ease of use it's still got a long way to go to unseat TiVo. 1
FetchTV

CNET Rating7.0

User Rating5.5

March 23rd, 2011 - The FetchTV is a harbinger of good things to come; it easily integrates free-to-air and IPTV channels and presents them in a fuss-free way. We wish there was more channel variety, though. 5
Olin OPVR-1000

CNET Rating6.6

User Rating5.0

November 18th, 2010 - The Olin OPVR-1000 is a bare-bones recorder which does a decent job, but is overshadowed by its competitors for features and ease of use. 6
