TiVo HD XL (150 HD hours)
  • Editors' rating: 4 stars
      Overall score: 8.3 (4.0 stars)
TiVo HD XL (150 HD hours) Reviewed on 09/03/2008

The Bottom Line: The TiVo HD XL charges a hefty premium for its spacious recording capacity and THX certification, but most users will be content sticking to the all-but-identical standard TiVo HD DVR.

Specs: 16.5 in x 12.6 in x 3.4 in, 190, 2, TiVo, Remote control

Toshiba XD-E500
  • Editors' rating: 3 stars
      Overall score: 6.0 (3.0 stars)
Toshiba XD-E500 Reviewed on 09/02/2008

The Bottom Line: The Toshiba XD-E500's XDE picture enhancements don't live up to the hype. While it's a solid upscaling DVD player, its high price makes it a hard sell.

Specs: DVD player, Tabletop, Universal remote control, Dolby Digital, DTS decoder, Stereo, 3.5 lbs

Insignia NS-BRDVD
  • Editors' rating: 3 stars
      Overall score: 6.0 (3.0 stars)
Insignia NS-BRDVD Reviewed on 08/18/2008

The Bottom Line: The Insignia NS-BRDVD is competent as a relatively cheap, barebones Blu-ray player, but better players are coming and the Sony PlayStation 3 is a superior option for those with just a little more cash.

Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Remote control, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD decoder, Dolby Digital Plus, Stereo, 9 lbs

Toshiba D-R410
  • Editors' rating: 3 stars
      Overall score: 6.3 (3.0 stars)
Toshiba D-R410 Reviewed on 08/08/2008

The Bottom Line: The Toshiba D-R410 handles basic DVD-recorder functions at a budget price, but you can get better features and performance from Panasonic's DMR-EA18K, if you're willing to spend a little more.

Specs: DVD recorder, Tabletop, Universal remote control, Stereo, 5.3 lbs

Sony BDP-S350
  • Editors' rating: 3h stars
      Overall score: 7.0 (3.5 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars
Sony BDP-S350 Reviewed on 08/05/2008

The Bottom Line: If you're dead set on a standalone Blu-ray player, the BDP-S350 has a small form factor, solid feature set, and relatively low price--but the PlayStation 3 is still a better value.

Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Remote control, DTS decoder, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD decoder, Dolby Digital Plus, Stereo

Zenith DTT901
  • Editors' rating: 3 stars
      Overall score: 6.7 (3.0 stars)
  • User rating: 4h stars
Zenith DTT901 Reviewed on 07/21/2008

The Bottom Line: The Zenith DTT901 DTV converter box has an easy-to-use design and solid video quality, but other boxes have more features or are easier for seniors.

Specs: Stereo, Universal remote control

Panasonic DMR-EA18K
  • Editors' rating: 4 stars
      Overall score: 8.0 (4.0 stars)
Panasonic DMR-EA18K Reviewed on 07/16/2008

The Bottom Line: Outstanding recording quality and tons of features, like flexible recording speed and chasing playback, make the Panasonic DMR-EA18K an excellent all-purpose DVD recorder.

Specs: DVD recorder, Tabletop, Remote control, Stereo, 6.2 lbs

Samsung BD-P1500
  • Editors' rating: 3 stars
      Overall score: 6.8 (3.0 stars)
  • User rating: 4h stars
Samsung BD-P1500 Reviewed on 07/01/2008

The Bottom Line: The Samsung BD-P1500 lacks some features and doesn't perform as well as the PlayStation 3, but its relatively low price makes it a solid option for those few people on a budget who still demand a standalone Blu-ray player.

Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Universal remote control, DTS decoder, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Stereo, 8.6 lbs

Panasonic DMP-BD50
  • Editors' rating: 3h stars
      Overall score: 7.8 (3.5 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars
Panasonic DMP-BD50 Reviewed on 06/06/2008

The Bottom Line: Excellent soundtrack support and Profile 2.0-compliancy make the Panasonic DMP-BD50 the most recommendable standalone Blu-ray player to date, but the PS3 is still better and cheaper.

Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Remote control, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD decoder, Dolby Digital Plus, Stereo, Black, 7.3 lbs

Netflix Player by Roku
  • Editors' rating: 3h stars
      Overall score: 7.7 (3.5 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars
Netflix Player by Roku Reviewed on 05/19/2008

The Bottom Line: While it's still a work in progress--and currently lean on quality content--the Netflix Player's simple operation, overall convenience, and cheap price makes it a compelling option for Netflix subscribers looking for instant gratification.

Specs: Digital multimedia receiver
