Like the DMR-EX79 before it, the DMR-EX83 is a top-notch digital recorder that puts many of its rivals to shame. Not much has changed since the previous generation, but why tinker with a winning formula? It’s teeming with features, provides superb live Freeview pictures and recordings, and it’s generally easy to operate. Some areas need work though, primarily the terrible EPG, and the inclusion of only one Freeview tuner is as grating as ever. What’s more, at £330 it’s by no means cheap, and with Freeview HD looming on the horizon you’ll need to decide whether it’s worth splashing out that much now or hanging on until someone launches a similar recorder with built-in Freeview HD, which they inevitably will at some point.

So, basically it's the same as the EX79, but without the SVHS input.
