Panasonic TUCTH100

Panasonic is probably the most recognizable of the manufacturers here, and with their excellent reputation for midrange gear, our hopes were high. The TUCTH100 is solidly and attractively built, holding the design of a conventional DVD player with a...

Slick design; sophiticated EPG

Very loud fan even in standby; software problems; no record from standby

Freeview PVR

We all know some software and even devices get released before they are finished but our test of the Panasonic Freeview PVR showed a few more bugs than normal.

GREAT BOX FOR THE PRICE, EXCELLENT PICTURE

Great product at a good price. Great as a VCR replacement.

Price (now around 160). Ease of use. So far reliable, with decent build quality.

Only 80GB HDD.

picture quality, 80gb hard drive

recordings are not guaranteed to happen. epg recording selection will miss start and end of programmes if transmission not to exact scheduled times. You must alter the start and finish times through the timer menu. Often programmes do not record or...

SHOULD BE GOOD BUT BUILD QUALITY ATTROCIOUS!

Treat with extreme caution. SONY may be expensive but the quality is so much better!

Both units I had suffered from some hardware / software / firmware problem that made recording hit and miss. When left on the unit would clearly start recording but afterwards fail to register the recording. When left on standby it would often...
