Sony RDR-HXD860 review

 

Sony takes Freeview to the next level with a HDD DVD recorder that can automatically records all of the programmes in a series at the push of a button. It's not quite Sky, but it's getting there

Series Recording ; Excellent icture quality

Only one digital tuner and no analogue

Series Recording, Excellent picture quality

Only one digital tuner and no analogue

It's certainly not perfect but it's a step in the right direction for Sony

Excellent for editing recordings (cutting out ads or joining clips together etc), plenty of space on HD for many hours of recording

Takes a long time to start up with a DVD loaded
