    Overview

    This feature-packed PVR player from Panasonic is designed to make your TV work for you. 4K Ultra HD quality and 4K upscaling makes your older content look excellent on a compatible TV. Wireless connectivity through Wi-Fi makes it easy to stream content from Netflix and other providers.

    Amazing pictures need incredible sound; and that’s why Panasonic have created this device to be Hi-Res audio ready. This simply means that you’ll hear the finer details in movies and music played on this device. A twin HD tuner and 1TB internal hard drive makes it easy to record your favourite shows for later viewing. If you have a lot of movies saved digitally on your computer, the provided USB port makes it easy to watch them on the big screen.
    4K Quality

    With a total of 8 million pixels in every image, 4K resolution will give you ultra-high definition pictures and life-like clarity. Four times the quality of full HD content, 4K content is incredibly sharp and colour-rich.

    4K Upscaling

    4K content is four times the quality of full HD content. So if your TV is 4K capable and you’re watching something a bit older, 4K upscaling increases the quality of your older content to near 4K quality for an improved viewing experience.

    Internal Storage

    This device comes with internal memory that allows you to keep copies of your favourite content. This makes it easier to immediately access your favourite content.

    WiFi Connectivity

    Connect to your local wireless network to take full advantage of this device’s capabilities. Share your data over a greater area thanks to the extended range that WiFi offers compared to Bluetooth technology.

    Generated by BazaarVoice HarmonyAI using customers reviews

    Customers overwhelmingly praise this recorder for its exceptional ease of use, intuitive interface, and reliable performance. Most highlight seamless setup and straightforward navigation, with many noting even older users find it user-friendly. The dual-tuner recording capability—allowing simultaneous recording of two channels while watching a third—is frequently called essential, with customers appreciating series recording and ad-skip features. Reviewers express strong brand loyalty, with many on their second or third unit after 10-20 years of ownership. Recording quality is consistently described as excellent with clear HD picture. A few mention minor frustrations with menu separation or tuner volume, though these rarely diminish overall satisfaction. Most consider this a reliable, durable choice.

    Excellent functional recorder.
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this unit for 3 months and am very happy with it. I had a panasonic recorder previously and it worked great for over 7 years. Very handy recording two shows while watching another.. it works great with my Panasonic TV. Has so much storage i can record all i need..very convenient. The unit is easy to connect with HDMI cable. Easy user interface. Can do all the functions with ease.. Manual explains everything clearly as well. Great unit. Well done Panasonic.

    Easy; set, record and play.
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 20 odd years and a hundred dollars a month of FOX mainly for recording news and current affairs programs we dumped it in favour of this recorder. Interfaced perfectly with our new 65 inch HD screen for stunning replay from the recorder. Super easy to schedule and playback, set it and forget it. We don’t think we’ll ever use all of the available storage space the unit has but we’ll give it a try. The unit is speak and very modern in design, takes up next t no space and it looks great. Straight forward connection and set up even my wife could do it.

    Questions & answers

    Can you take recording off this PVR with Twin HD Tuner Tracey · 2025-06-23
    Hi Tracey, Thank you for your question. Yes, programs that you have recorded to the internal storage device of this PVR can be copied to an external hard drive. Full details on how to do this can be found on pages 40 and 41 of the user manual. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Appliances Online Adam Vaccaro, Appliances Online
    Hi, I know it can record 2 different channels but can it record 1 or 2 on each frequency? e.g. Nine & Gem, then Seven & 7Two. Or is it just Nine & Gem that you can record. My Topfield can record 4 but only 2 on each frequency like stated, need to replace. rose29 · 2022-03-29
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for this product question, the unit has twin tuners so you can only record 2 channels. Ie Nine and Gem or Seven and Nine. BUT only 2 channels. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
