This is JVC's first toe into Blu-ray waters, but other players leave it firmly stuck on the starting blocks

The Panasonic DMR-BS850 is the first product to hit the UK that combines a Freesat+ PVR with a Blu-ray player/recorder

The Samsung BD-P3600 is an attractive, feature-packed player that deserves to be auditioned
