Panasonic DMR-EX83 review
http://www.which.co.uk/technology/tv-and-dvd/reviews/dvd-recorders/panasonic-dmr-ex83/review/
The Panasonic DMR-EX83 is a DVD and hard disk recorder that has a digital tuner, but there is no analogue tuner which means it is not suitable for those who haven't yet switched to digital TV. We tested this DVD recorder to see how well it fared.
