Reviews

  • Panasonic DMR-XW450

    Panasonic's upmarket DVD recorder has oodles of functionality, but it's hidden behind a somewhat obtuse remote control.

  • Panasonic DMR-XW350

    The Panasonic DMR-XW350 DVD recorder is similar to the XW450 in that you can watch Picasa and YouTube, but features a smaller 250GB hard drive.

  • LG RH399D

    LG's DVD recorder offers plenty of recording space and an in-built digital tuner, but the lack of HD capability really hurts.

  • Samsung DVD-HR755

    The Samsung DVD-HR755 should only be of interest to those in analog TV reception areas. Everyone else can (and should) do better.

  • Beyonwiz DP-S1

    The Beyonwiz DP-S1 is an ambitious device incorporating a PVR, DVD player, and streaming media but it's not yet ready for the big time.

  • Toshiba HDD-J35 HD set top box

    Toshiba's new HD set top box sports some impressive functionality, including a large hard drive and HDMI. But is it worth the sticker price? Read our Australian review.

  • Foxtel iQ Personal Digital Recorder

    Great if you love your Foxtel, but it's not the "ultimate" personal digital recorder solution Australia has been waiting for.
