- Dish Network DTVPal DVR
- Photo gallery:Dish Network DTVPal DVRA lot of penny-pinching home theater enthusiasts get the same idea--free over-the-air HDTV looks great, so why not cancel my cable/satellite subscription and get a standalone HD DVR?

- Logitech Harmony 700

- Dish Network DTVPal
- The FCC has pushed back the DTV transition several times already, but it looks as if over-the-air analog TV signals will actually end on February 19, 2009. That means owners of analog TV will need to pony up for a DTV converter box if they want to continue getting their...

- Philips DVDR3575H
- DVD recorders with hard drives used to be the poor man's TiVo. Sure, they lacked the finesse and eye-candy of a true TiVo, but you didn't have to pay a subscription fee and you could burn anything right in the same unit. Fast-forward to today and you'll be hard pressed...

- LG RC797T SuperMulti DVD/VHS Recorder
- You've probably noticed that DVD/VHS recorders haven't dropped in price as much as you'd expect for technology that's been around for several years.

- JVC's mouth-watering new HDD/DVD recorder--the first we've seen for consumers with an integrated MiniDV deck--comes with an impressive, albeit incomplete, set of features. For example, the DR-DX5S plays, records, and edits MiniDV camcorder tapes, DVD-RAM discs, and even dual-layer DVD-R discs, but doesn't work with +R/+RW formats. It has...

- Panasonic SC-RT50
- Panasonic knows that every year buyers demand more features for less money, so it upped the ante with the SC-RT50.

But unlike that older model, the SC-RT50 offers HDMI 720p/1080i...
