World Cup special: Best DVD recorders and PVRs

Capture the pain and the passion of this year's World Cup with a high-definition PVR

DVICO TViX R-3300 (RRP: $399)



The DVICO TViX R-3300 is a versatile personal video recorder and set-top box. Sporting a built-in tuner for digital and analog TV, it also excels at streaming multimedia files from computers on a network. The DVICO TViX R-3300’s on-screen interface is a simple one, with easy navigation to the main television, video, music and picture viewing sections.

Television picture quality from the in-built tuner is among the best we’ve seen, with consistently good reception. We couldn’t find any compression artefacts or distortion on our test recordings when we used the high quality mode: if you want to chronicle the World Cup glitch-free, this is the PVR for you. You'll need to install a hard drive to record TV, but overall the DVICO TViX R-3300 is a well-rounded product.
