Panasonic DMR-HW100

A capable machine, but it struggles to match the best for all-round ability

Records two channels simultaneously ; stable, detailed standard-def and high-def images

Relatively small drive ; no wi-fi built in ; currently no BBC iPlayer ; unintuitive menus

Panasonic DMR-HW100 HDD DVR

Review Panasonic returns to the UK DVR market after an abortive early foray, with a 3D-enabled, media-streaming TV recorder. Rather more convincing than the brand's first generation model, the DMR-HW100 offers access to the online VieraCast portal, has...

While some 3D features offered by the DMR-HW100 have little practical use - Frame Width can only be construed as the height of madness - its support for MPO snaps and 2D-to-3D conversion make it an interesting proposition. However such 3D frippery is...

Great item

Bought this as a replacement. It's far more superior to my previous one. Got it for half the price it is at Panasonic. Excellent

Just what I wanted

I brought this recorder after a failed attempt with a Goodmans. Plugged it in and off I went. Easy to use, looks good and does what it says on the tin. Only gripe is the extra expense of the HDMI lead. You can't use the machine without it so why not...
