Trigger Happy TV, DVD, video and Soundtrack

Advantages: Very Funny
Disadvantages: You wonder why nobody thought of it before

...I don’t think I’m doing it justice by describing it in words. It also has a really cool soundtrack of alternative artists from different genres. My only criticism is that it does get a bit repetitive towards the end of the series but then doesn’t most comedy programmes use this type of humour (Fast Show, Mark & Lard)? A video and DVD have released which contains 70 minutes of the "best of" the first series. The DVD also contains fifteen minutes bonus unseen footage. Why did they not just release the whole series? Geeks buy DVD's. Geeks are completists. Geeks want the whole series, not a best of. I ended up taping the 1st series instead. The second series has been on the digital channel E4 for a while now but is being shown this Friday at 9.30pm on Channel 4. I can't wait to see what it's like. The adverts for it look...

Review of Channel 4 - Trigger Happy TV

Good value VHS/DVD video combi

Advantages: Cheap, convenient to have an integrated unit
Disadvantages: Instructions / setup, VCR image quality

...This product is a combined DVD player and VHS video recorder. I discovered this product when I was originally shopping for seperate DVD and VHS products. I was surprised by its low price of £80, which even included SCART, RF and audio cables in the box, which many manufacturers do not include. When I got it home, I soon realised there are many other advantages of a combined unit. It has meant much less cabling behind the TV, one less remote control, one less mains socket used, and ultimately one less gadget to learn how to use. As well as the two "halves" working independently, it also has a dubbing function to make copies of DVD recordings onto VHS tapes, though I presume it would not work with copy-protected DVDs. The DVD part has pretty much all the normal features one would expect in a DVD player of today. Sound output is...

Review of Philips DVP620VR

Well featured DVD Video recorder at bargain price!

Advantages: CDR/RW DVD+R/RW DVD-R/RW Audio & Video Recording and Multi region capable !
Disadvantages: Boxy Boring styling. Can overheat if not ventilated properly

...This is quite simply an oustanding bit of kit for the money. Not only does it record on BOTH DVD formats... It can also record on CD's as well. It will make video CD's or, if you ask it nicely, it will even work as an audio CD recorder and even plays and records mp3. Now that is what i call one box which does it all! Recording DVD's it even automatically adds a thumnail navigation menu automatically to allow you to skip through a reording without all the guesswork. Not only that but if you look on the specialist DVD review websites you can type in a "secret" code which allows you to make it multi-regional, although I think by doing so you may be invalidating the warranty. The price is pretty impressive too at just a shade under £170 from amazon. About the only faults I could find were the boring styling and the fact that...

DVD Video Combi LG

Advantages: One unit for DVD & Video - looks smart - Great Sound & Pictures
Disadvantages: If one or the other goes wrong, you're stuck!

...I purchased my LG DV-1000 from Argos around a year ago, especially for the Fellowship of the Rings extended DVD (what a geek!) - But as I live in a fairly small flat, I didn't want 2 machines taking up space, when I could get 1 for a good price. In fact, it only cost me £110 from Argos. The first thing you notice with a DVD player is what it looks like, and this one is pretty smart looking, in my opinion. Silver, shiny and reflective. Secondly, you have to set the thing up, and setting this up was made simple by a clear consice instruction manual, and uncomplicated on screen menus. A bonus is that it sets the date and time itself from signals it receives via the ariel! It doesn't have video+ programming for recording off the telly, but it's really simple to do it manually (My parents got one too, and even my *mum* can programme...

A Freebie Worth Having

Advantages: Free, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Limited backgrounds

...drive but the software can cope with all formats the following CD-R/ CD-RW/ DVD-R/ DVD-RW/ DVD+R/ DVD+RW. This I know as my DVD drive can burn to all these formats. I do not know about other formats. My DVD lets you create a simple DVD or VCD movie from pictures and video stored on your computer or on devices such as digital cameras. You can use still pictures or video and you can add your own music to the discs. You can then pop the burned region free disc into any DVD player or other computer and sit back and play the movie you just created. Using My DVD The software is actually quite easy to use but it can take a while to get used to. It does not help that there is no instructions with the software. There are no booklets with it and there is no instructions on the CD slip case that the disc was in. There is not even a text...

Review of Amazon.co.uk

Nintendo's most successful console since the SNES

Advantages: Innovation, attractive looks, back catalogue, playability
Disadvantages: Finicky Wiimote controls, no CD/DVD video support, extra purchase for full package

...catalogue sorts itself out and Microsoft decide what to actually do with the 360 and any planned predocessor then the Wii will certainly have to do. If your not a hardened games fan and just want pure playable fun the Wii is the ONLY option. Gripes!! Yes a few, as mentioned before the infrared control on the Wiimote can be finicky but easily forgiven by the fun factor. The Virtual console needs either a classic controller or the Gamecube controller to play the games which means either way you need to make more purchases. This also means that to play your Gamecube games because it goes into its own environment you need the Gamecube controller and memory cards to take advantage of that particular back catalogue. Other little gripes like it doesn't recognise CDs or play DVD videos are on the list too. All that though can be forgiven since...
