    I've just bought the Sony 710. Pricey but excellent test reports. 160gb and built in Freeview which means you have superbly easy programming as you just click on the 7 day detailed programme.

    I'm looking to buy a Sony as well, and perhaps it's the same you mean. I have seen it at £399 and the specs are impressive. They have one for £599, but I don't think I need to go for all that whiz. :)
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    The Sony's record and play DVD's better than almost any other box. Certainly a lot better than the cheaper ones mentioned here. Generally I'm not a Sony fan but they've got it right at the moment. One other interesting point raised. Do you download films? If so, then divx would also be useful.

    Quasar: Yes I paid just under £400 from RGBDirect for my Sony 710.
