The Foxsat-HDR is a fantastic PVR, with a big hard disk, faultless operating system and excellent picture quality. Sky should be very worried indeed.

HD and SD recordings from it’s two tuners are impeccable. It’s compatible with the sophisticated Freesat EPG, which is arguably superior to Sky’s class-leading system.

This PVR offers excellent out-of-the-box functionality. It’s certainly a worthy rival to Sky+ HD for those who don’t mind the more limited selection of HD channels

If you can get over Freesat’s limited hi-def content and the lack of support for non-Freesat channels, the Foxsat-HDR makes a fantastic digital TV proposition. There’s a capacious hard-disk on board, its faultless operating system makes it easy to use and picture quality is as good as it gets

If you don’t want a subscription, Freesat HD’s your only high-def option – and it’s a great way to get it. It is, in every way, the best performing Freesat tuner we’ve seen, and as a PVR it’s excellent. Could the HDR be the kick-start that Freesat needs?

This new machine has a huge 320GB hard drive inside so you can record programmes to it as well as pausing live TV. It is simple to operate and has an attractive operating system.
