One of the better high end HD receivers available, the Sony DST-HD500 delivers excellent value for those with the system to support it.

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

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.

A frustratingly difficult interface detracts from what would otherwise be a standout product. Everything on the TU-HDT104A works, but for ease of use and intuitive functionality look for a different receiver.

The Sony DSTHD100 is innovative and easy to use, despite a few minor flaws.

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

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.

Though Legend has done a good job in fitting two tuners into the LPVRC, some design faults hold it back from the mainstream.

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.

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.

Even without support for high definition, the CTDV100 delivers sharp, clear pictures with an easy-to-use interface and functions.
