Toshiba D-R17DT"The presence of impressive 1080p upscaling and a digital tuner are commendable on a recorder at this price, and picture quality is as good as, if not better than its big name rivals." Beyonwiz DP-S1 PVR"It's expensive, but the Beyonwiz is certainly one with the lot." Toshiba RD-97DT"we're less than impressed by the unit's generally cumbersome and unresponsive operating system. And despite the presence of 1080p upscaling and digital media playback, the feature list is limited, lacking many goodies found on similarly-priced rivals" Philips DVDR3577H"We could understand it if the DVDR3577H was the token analogue model in an otherwise digital-ready range, but this isn't the case - none of Philips' latest HDD recorders comes with built-in Freeview, which only serves to highlight the superiority of recorders from the likes of Sony and Panasonic." Samsung DVD-AR650"The Samsung DVD-AR650 is a solid DVD recorder with a nice collection of features for digital video archivists." DVD RECORDER MANUFACTURERS |
