In terms of features, looks and connections, the DVDR5570H is up there with the best models on the market. Time Shift Buffer is the killer feature, offering a level of playback versatility usually reserved for PVRs, while the Jukebox, Freeview tuner and 1080p upscaling make it feel suitably cutting-edge. What's more, Philips has improved the ease-of-use factor considerably with an impressive new remote. Our only reservations stem from the sluggish menu system, inconvenient recording mode settings, the lack of series recording and the use of Guide Plus over a Philips-designed Freeview EPG, but aside from that the DVDR5570H is a terrific recorder.
