Reviews

  • TiVo 160 Media Device

    Despite missing some key features, the TiVo HD is a worthwhile investment if you don't want to pay for cable, and it poses no ongoing EPG fees.

  • Sony RDR-HXD760

    For AU$999, the RDR HXD760's 160GB hard drive, DVD recording capabilities and built-in digital tuner looks to be a winning proposition.

  • Sony SVR-HD700

    A pricey high-end PVR with plenty going for it, despite the limited EPG and lack of USB/Firewire connections.

  • Teac PVR-160T

    The Teac PVR-160T isn't brimming with cutting-edge features, but it offers the usual assortment of PVR, picture and MP3 capabilities; a worthwhile investment for anybody investing in SD digital TV.

  • Topfield TF5000PVRt Masterpiece (Black)

    A PVR with a dash of style, Topfield's Masterpiece allows you to store up to 80 hours worth of TV on its hard disk. It features USB connectivity, dual-tuners and support for third-party applications called TAPs.

  • Humax PVR Smart

    Humax's standard-definition PVR Smart has two digital tuners and a 160GB hard disk built in, allowing simultaneous recording of two stations and storage capacity for up to 100 hours of video.

  • Legend Digital LPVR160 Personal Video Recorder

    Legend's LPVR160 PVR comes with twin digital tuners and 160GB of recording space, but at its heart it's very much an entry level unit.

  • Force 5 digital receiver

    The Force 5 is an affordable, entry-level digital receiver with a large hard drive and intuitive menu interface. A great buy if you can get past the lack of HD support and single tuner configuration.
