This silent-running box is tastier than a box of electronic buns. With Media Centre and dual Freeview tuners providing crisp pictures and the option to watch one channel and record another, it’s a TV superstar. Like John Barrowman.
Media Centre’s built-in EPG delivers two weeks worth of programme info and makes setting up recordings a snap. The 500GB hard disk means you’re unlikely to run out of space, even if your favourite programmes are the EastEnders Omnibus and Test Match Special.
There’s much more to this than just TV. It plays and records to Blu-Ray, stores a library’s-worth of music and photos, and also shreds both games and spreadsheets alike. It’s Sony’s best Media Centre ever, and that’s saying something.
