And what features have been lost in the Apple TV’s journey across the Atlantic? Find out in our full new Apple TV review.
The Slingbox Pro-HD has been a long time coming. It’s Sling Media’s first new consumer set top box in its line for two whole years, and a lot has happened in the time between: the increasing presence of HTML5 video suited for mobiles, Flash compatibility for some smartphones, and all in all, simply more options for watching video on the move on a laptop, tablet or phone. So does the addition of high-def streaming make it worth investing in still? Find out in our full Slingbox Pro-HD review.
Sky 3D, the UK’s first broadcast 3D channel, is here. Is it truly as revolutionary as the hype suggests, or is it merely an empty gimmick? We’ve been feasting our eyes on a weekend’s worth of pop-out-of-the-screen content, so read on for our considered verdict here in our Sky 3D review.

We first spotted the Samsung BD-C8500M way back in March, and at the time, it looked set to be the set top box of the tear, decked out as it was with Freeview HD, plenty of IPTV streaming, a massive hard drive and even Wi-Fi built in. Unfortunately, it’s not quite the dreamy unified machine we were hoping for: see what we mean in our full Samsung BD-C8500M review.
If you’ve read our full Samsung BD-C8500M review already, you’ll know that we’re more than a bit disappointed with the set top box’ Freeview HD recording skills, especially for the price Samsung is asking. But it’s not all bad news: the Samsung BD-C8500M is much more adept when it comes to network skills. Read on and find out what we mean in this part of our Samsung BD-C8500M review.
The Samsung BD-C8500M can tune into and record Freeview HD, amongst its many talents, but how does it handle compared to dedicated PVRs and other pricey all singing, all dancing set top boxes? Find out in this part of our Samsung BD-C8500M review.
The Humax HDR-FOX T2 has been a long time in the making: launched all the way back in December of last year, it was poised to be the first Freeview HD recording set top box to go on sale. It was pipped to the post in the end, but it’s now on sale – if you’ve been holding off on getting a Freeview HD tuner, check out our full Humax HDR-FOX T2 review to see if it’s been worth the wait.
