Recording headaches could be a thing of the past!
The latest Ricability consumer test programme has focused on the new digital TV recorders with Freeview Playback. See the results at http://www.ricability-digitaltv.org.uk.
Lindsey Etchell, Principal Researcher for Ricability says,
‘We’ve just tested 5 digital TV recorders with the new Freeview Playback logo. This means they have improved recording features - and no monthly subscription contract. The results are very exciting, the Humax Duovisio PVR-9200TB £164.69 scored highest for ease of use amongst all the digital TV recorders we have ever tested. It also had lots of useful features and was very easy to install. That was closely followed by the Wharfedale 160DTR £119.19 and Technika AEDTR160S7 £119.97 and we would recommend consumers to consider any of these”.
Digital TV recorders - sometimes called hard disc recorders, or personal video recorders (PVRs) - enable you to receive digital TV AND record on to an internal hard disc. You can buy digital TV recorders to work with terrestrial, or with cable or satellite broadcasts. You can use them with an existing or new TV.
Freeview Playback digital TV recorders have no subscription or contract and enable you to receive and record over 40 digital TV channels on an existing TV. You can also pause and rewind live TV, record one channel when watching another and easily record an entire series. For further information see http://www.freeview.co.uk.
Ricability, an independent national research charity, has been testing a range of TV products as part of the digital switchover. Their website has free, independent information, explained in clear, simple language that cuts through the jargon. It tells you exactly what to look for and then you can easily search for products with the features you want http://www.ricability-digitaltv.org.uk.
