Overall the DMR-XS350 is a very impressive DVD/HDD recorder, sharing the same user friendliness and top-notch performance as its pricier stable mate. Owners of Sky+ HD need not apply, but if you're looking for a slick and flexible HD-capable recorder and have no use for a Blu-ray drive then the XS350 has the talent to make £600 feel like money well spent.
It's also worth noting that the inclusion of twin Freesat tuners and hi-def channels make this a much better option than Panasonic's DMR-EX89 single-tuner Freeview combi, although you do have to pay a good £200 more for the privilege, not including any satellite installation costs.Read full review
