And at only $199 this little beast is set to be a real irritant up against Blu-ray devices that in some cases cost three times as much as this Toshiba box.

Topfield wants you to ‘Break free from the way you watch TV’ with its new PVR, and we would have to agree.

The Philips HTS6100 is a soundbar home theatre system that only takes up a small space and can deliver a unique home cinema feel to any room.

One of them is the Panasonic DMR-BW500 which is the first 500GB dual tuner Blu-ray recorder in the world outside of Japan.

We pull out our favourite couch, sit down, and put this home theatre in a box to the test.

Pioneer’s HTP-LX70 certainly looks the part, but does it perform up to par with other home theatre kits in the market?

New Medium Enterprise’s Versatile Multilayer Disc (VMD) format aims to provide that HD experience cheaper, but is that enough for the two big HD formats (HD DVD and Blu-ray) to take notice?

It is not only packed with the best in both vision, sound and networking technology, it is compact and very easy to install.
