Two new models in our media centre review today. We've selected an HD compatible tuner from Dane-Elec as well as a more standard but still very complete model from AC Ryan.

HD digital tuner, LCD colour screen , SDHC card reader and network connectivity: the Dane-Elec So World TV is really very complete on paper. Does this media centre with HD digital tuner mark itself out from the pretty tough competition out there? This is what we're going to find out in our review.

A larger version of the Playon !HD mini, the AC Ryan Playon !HD (without the mini) is a very complete media centre: it can house a 3.5" hard drive, play HD video, display a video jukebox and even has an SDHC card reader. Really worth its salt? This is what we'll see in our review!

We invite you to check out our media centre face-off. This will allow you to compare one card against another and see their respective multimedia compatibility, network speeds or energy consumption at the blink of an eye.
