Review: Tvonics DVR-FP250
Page 2

Continuing our reviews of digital video recorders on the market today, we turn our attentions to Tvonics' effort in this arena. The DVR-FP250 is pretty much like most others on the market. It records one Freeview channel while watching another. But more than that, the makers claim that it is one of the most eco-friendly devices available. 

The model we reviewed has a 250GB hard drive inside its shell which is a bit reminiscent of the Cyrus Mission amplifiers. I.e. it is shoebox-shaped as opposed to the more usual dimensions. Admittedly, it is perhaps the most stylish of PVRs on the market with is curved black metal casing, if you wanted something that would match the decor of your upmarket apartment then finish reading this and go out and buy theTvonics PVR now!

If however, you wanted to know how it works then read on. The DVR-FP250 has a hard drive big enough to store 125 hours of video. It is also Freeview Playback certified which means that it has met a level of functionality. Setting up the thing was a doddle - it has to be as most people who watch telly aren't geeks and so simplicity will always be a top priority. It found all the channels and separated them into TV and Radio channels.
