Yes this is cheap ‘money wise’, however it is well constructed and gives a good clear crisp sound, for those entering the DAB market this could be a good starting point.

The annual show that tells the UK what the top selling toys will be this Christmas I paid my annual visit to this one day event this week, below is a summery of what I hope to tell you about in detail over the next few weeks.

If you have content, video, images or MP3 that you wish to view on your TV then this product could well be the answer.

A 17" LCD widescreen TV with built in DVD player for £329.00. Sounds too good to be true???

As a company Oregon Scientific like to be regarded as different while still opting for a stylish approach to the appearance of its kit.

A sub £100 DVD Recorder not so very long ago you would not have found many DVD players in that price bracket.

This looks like lots of larger CD/Cassette/FM/AM radio units of a few years ago, there is of course a bonus and that comes in the form of DAB.

Given that you are paying something for the name, and something for the novelty I suppose £49.99 may not be that much for a headset, oh did I say it has an integrated MP3 player.

This is big it is also heavy and the box it comes in would probably rate as deluxe accommodation by a homeless person. The main box does even contain the DVD player only it’s speakers and sub woofer.

This seems like quite a unique product. It is small yet produces a good depth and range of sound from built in speakers. If your musical tastes are not the same as others then it can be used with headphones.

This label tends to imply up market, the way things are put together, the offerings, in fact the label commands – and gets - a premium.

A lot of people cannot have a PC in the lounge because their other half is worried about the look, here is something that is thinner than a video or a lot of DVD players.

The popularity of DAB radios increase and currently if you take your old analogue radio in most retailers will give you a 10% reduction in the cost of a DAB unit in part exchange, the old unit is then refurbished and sent to Africa.

Ever wanted to go back in time to the 80's and all those great arcade games that didn't take a month of Sundays to play?

Ever thought of turning your computer into a home entertainment centre? Check out how the Pinnacle PCTV 200e fared.

This is a hard disc and DVD recorder/player but it also has the ability to do several other things. It should be an ideal piece of kit.

Digital Freeview television and radio on your computer sounds like a media junkie’s dream. However frustration and disappointment could follow.

Why restrict your MP3 player to just music? It could just as easily acts as a “talking book”.

Ever fancied being able to pull together all your media content from everywhere for viewing or listening on a TV? In theory the Pinnacle ShowCenter 200 can do this.

With the weather warming up and the daily commute getting you hot under the collar, chill out watching videos on this cool device!

Having looked at Video and DVD, DVD and Hard Disc, it seems a logical progression to look at a unit that has all three and that is what the JVC DR-MX1S is, now if only the name was something catchy.

Another year, another birthday, so another chance to treat myself. As regular readers will know my passion is Jazz and so a couple of True Stereo offerings are always very acceptable.

Fashion is not compulsory. Be a leader and not a follower by looking at an alternative to the iPod device.

Learning is certainly fun when wrapped up in a cartoon adventure as it is in this Focus Jojo Learning Maths offering that of course follows the National Curriculum.

I am sure anyone over 30 has some music on cassette or LP and probably a lot on singles, some at least, they may not be ashamed of, so you need a way to transfer it to MP3 or CD.

This is a Freeview unit, but just like other recent items it does more, and in the case of the iPlayer+ that means playing MP3 and photo images on your TV and it also can collect and receive emails and even more.

No tape involved you can record to DVD – either R or RW - or to the built in hard disc certainly a vast improvement on the quality associated with VHS tape.

I have wondered for a while when DAB will spread to ‘music centres’ well it may not be mainstream yet but this ‘ghetto blaster’ size unit has DAB, FM, CD and of course the ubiquitous remote control.
