Advantages: Three DVDs full of motoring mayhem!
Disadvantages: Some sequences are shortened

...This top gear boxset contains three seperate DVDs, Back in the fast lane (best of series 1 and 2), revved up (best of series 3 and 4), and The winter olympic special. I am a big fan of top gear and watch it every week, enjoying the humour and excitement that Clarkson, Hammond and May, bring to the world of cars. I have to say I prefer watching the more miscellaneos sequences (the races, challenges etc), to just watching one of the presenters thrash a supercar around the test track. This makes this DVD great for me, but not so much for those who are looking for a more serious motoring show. Back in the Fast Lane (best of series 1 and 2) This DVD contains some of the best sequences from the first two series's of Top Gear. It is the most serious of the three DVDs, and puts such cars as the Pagani Zonda, Mcclaren F1, and the Rolls... Read review

Advantages: Watch what you want, when you want.
Disadvantages: Currently has a number of software based bugs, poor customer service.

..., so I have gained an extra hour of storage for my own recordings. Another nice feature is the fact that it features twin tuners for your own use, meaning that at most times of the day, you can record two different things at once - as well as Top Up TV downloads, you have access too the live Freeview channels. The reason I have said "at most times of the day" is because while the box is downloading you can only record or watch one channel as the other tuners are being used to tune into the Anytime streams (up to 3 simultaneously! - a first for any PVR). The actual software on-board the box is very clever and intuitive. It features a very useful 14 day TV Guide, which is uncommon among PVR's as most feature only an 8 day guide. You can set reminders like Sky and set recordings by pressing just one button. Viewing your Anytime... Read review

Advantages: excellent if you are a john grisham fan
Disadvantages: not an advisable purchase if you don't like legal thrillers.

....... Jackie Lemancyzk Mickey Rourke .... Bruiser Stone Andrew Shue .... Cliff Riker Red West .... Buddy Black Johnny Whitworth .... Donny Ray Black Wayne Emmons .... Prince Thomas Adrian Roberts .... Butch Roy Scheider .... Wilfred Keeley Extras Runtime: 135 min Country: USA Language: English Certification: UK:15 / USA:PG-13 On a stand alone basis I would give this film an 8/10 Overall, this dvd box set is a very good mixture though the obvious them running through them all is that they are based on John Grisham novels. Quite often box sets are made up of the one or two films you want and added to with some tripe that isn't worth watching but not this. I bought this at WHS Smiths for 12.99 and it was worth every penny. Athough of course these films... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use
Disadvantages: No external buttons on the box, no volume control on the box

...BUYING I was a bit anxious about buying a freeview box firstly by just looking at the line up of channels, nothing really appealed to me at all. Once I was sooo bored with nothing on the 5 terrestrial channels I decided to go online and buy myself one. This box I got online for £40, not to expensive as I didn't know how much I would use it. OUT OF THE BOX I got it out of the box, and was happy to see everything I needed was all included, as the number of times I have bought something for my TV and ended up needed to buy more leads! I firstly looked at the instruction manual which is very easy to use; clear diagrams, it tells you everything you could possibly need to know. It also came with a very handy quick set up guide on a separate piece of paper. I got the box and cables out and it took around 5 minuets to set up, just from... Read review

Advantages: Inconspicuous and Easy to Use
Disadvantages: None

...Increasingly new TV’s are entering the market as Freeview ready, the internal electronics of the set eliminating the need for a separate box of tricks. However where that is not the case either with a new TV set or indeed with existing older models which you may have in the home a digital set top box will be required to receive freeview digital TV. Digital set top boxes (digital terrestrial receivers) have been getting progressively smaller and neater. For Freeview we have replaced our older larger clunky Sagem model with an Alba STB8 which comparatively takes up far less space, can easily be placed behind or beside the TV that it serves, and is much lighter in weight. The package includes the receiver itself which measures (a sleek) 21cm (width) x 14cm (depth) x3.5cm (height), remote control plus batteries, rf cable, and two... Read review

...Hello everybody, I'm writing a review on this Box Set by Lee Evans! My Grandfather bought it for me because it was going cheap in a shop in the High Street. I'd previously bought Lee Evans 2005 XL Tour Live for my flat mate for Christmas. I watched it on Xmas day with him and was hooked! I let my Grandfather borrow it, he was hooked, then let my Parent's borrow it, they were hooked and thus starting a Lee Evans revolution within my family! It was a stroke of luck that my Grandfather was in the high street and saw this DVD Box Set in passing whilst searching for something else. He bought it, it was 19.99 GBP instead of the 39.99 GBP recommended retail price. (The new box set was coming out with the new XL DVD in it!) He bought it, and I've been watching them non-stop ever since. He did theorectically buy it for himself but since... Read review

...Finally all the Python movies available in one glorious box set, this is something that all Python fans have been waiting for and to top it all, every film is in a high definition widescreen, NI. GET ON WITH IT!!! Sorry, any way on to scene 24, which is a nice box set with a few extras but nothing to shake a stick at, brother Maynard the Holy Handgrenade, aaarrrgghh, so lets start with the films in the order of the box set. 1. Monty Python's And Now For Something Completely Different This was the first film that the Python's released and is a collection of sketches from the original TV series, but they were re-staged especially for a cinema release, all your favourite sketches are in this film.

Advantages: Funny, Comforting
Disadvantages: Not as good as the earlier ones

...I love Friends, and by love, I mean LOVE. By love, I mean Ive got every single episode thats been aired on tv on dvd, ive got every box set from seasons 1 to 9 and Im progressing with my season 10 collection. Im quite obsessed. I can answer any question you might have on the casts homes, lives, bla bla bla. That might look abit sad - or alot sad depending on your perspective, but in my opinion, its a damn sight more entertaining than train spotting! Im currently in the middle of watching Season 9 again. I always watch Friends when I dont feel well or Im abit blue because it always cheers me up, and Ive recently had flu so Im in Friends mode! I think as time has gone by and the cast have realised the extent of the popularity of Friends, and as they've become as greedy as they have (demanding almost a million dollars an episode...

Advantages: The best of Eddie Izzard in just one box!
Disadvantages: People spot it and want to borrow it!

...MMVI Eddie Izzard live Box Set Unrepeatable, Definate Article, Glorious, Dress to Kill, Circle & Sexie all in one beautiful box set. I have one question for starters. Do you like Eddie Izzard? If the answer is YES! then buy this box set! It's Eddie at his absolute best with so much choice of what to watch. The shows featured range from 1994 to 2003, although Eddie has been around a lot longer! Unrepeatable is the very first glimpse we have in this fine selection. Filmed in 1994 and including DVD extras such as an Audio Commentary, Trivia Track, Photo Gallery and a Bleeped Audio Track. The audio tracks are definately worth a listen once you've watched the show properly as its Eddie, seemingly off the cuff making remarks on his own work - classic comedy. Definate Article is next in the showcase, filmed in 1996... Read review
