Which? product tests are impartial and very thorough. They have tested the 20 personal video recorders for the quality of recording, timing, and general ease of use of each player. The quality of recording on a PVR should not be any different to the quality in the original TV broadcast, so the Which? reviewers will test for any noticeable degradation in picture or sound quality of a recording. The EPG (electronic program guide) is assessed. The EPG is the menu area that allows you to select channels and survey when upcoming TV programs are due to be broadcast. These vary in quality based on PVR model significantly. Numerous recordings are made to check whether the start of end of TV programs is missed due to occasionally inevitable broadcaster delays. Finally, the general features of everyday use are tested and reviewed by the Which? team.
