Reviews

  • LG MS408 HD DVR

    The LG MS408 HD DVR is a hard drive-based PVR that offers two tuners and a wealth of connectivity options including YouTube access.

  • Loewe Art 42 SL Full-HD+ 100 DR+

    Not within everyone's ballpark, the Loewe Art 42 SL is a pricey LCD TV, but if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed. It's a stylish bit of kit with plenty of upgrade and customisable options.

  • Panasonic DMR-XW450

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

  • Cowon D2+

    The Cowon D2+ is a sturdy little touchscreen MP3 player with flexible sound enhancement settings and useful features, but it hasn't changed much from the 2007 version.

  • Western Digital My DVR Expander

    Western Digital's TiVo expanding drive works as advertised, but is only recommended for non-networked homes.

  • iRiver P7

    The iRiver P7 is like a beautifully crafted concept car with a frustrating lack of horsepower, but the price is compelling.

  • Panasonic DMR-XW300

    The Panasonic DMR-XW300 is a very versatile DVD recorder which includes dual-HD recording and excellent DVD playback.

  • Samsung i8

    Aimed at amateurs, the Samsung i8 is a user-friendly digital camera with strong multimedia functionality and helpful how-to guides. Slow performance and the sometimes frustrating logic of the main menu will mean this is probably one to skip unless you're interested in the bare basics.
