A commendable PVR from MediaStar with a large hard drive is let down by only supporting SDTV

A fairly good set top box that performs well with a nice range of outputs

If you're after a relatively inexpensive way to receive high-definition digital TV at home, the Legend Digital LHD2 is a good choice, provided you can live with a couple of small design issues.

A good quality PVR with basic features but poor documentation.

A perfect entry into the world of digital television - cheap, small, and simple, and without any major flaws.

The HD-7000 is a very professional box. It emphasises functionality and performance over ease of use.

Legend Digital's LSD2 offers inexpensive standard definition digital (DVB-T) support.

While the device offers clean, clear images for anybody looking to make the switch to digital television, a few slight glitches make it unsuitable for the mainstream.

The standard-definition Unimax ST-102 has a full range of features, and no major flaws at all.

The HDT-1100 does the job, but a rather cheap look and feel detract from the overall package.

The CDTV400HD offers a great HDTV experience. Operation isn't as well integrated or intuitive as it could be, but the box itself still does absolutely everything it should.

This SRT5390 provides excellent digital TV reception and adequate recording, timeshifting and playback functions. It lacks a USB port for transferring recorded programs to a PC.
