This time, we've really hit the jackpot!  What are we talking about?  The Dvico Tvix 6632N!  This multimedia hard drive with a double HD TV tuner is quite simply our favourite new gadget, with features, usability and looks that really won us over.

With its double tuner, the Dvico Tvix 6632N allos you to watch one HD TV channel while you record another.  In addition, 802.11n WiFi comes as standard and there's a very practical display on the front.

We've also added the Tvix 6631N and Tvix 6600N to our line-up.  The former has a single TV tuner, while the latter does without entirely.  Everything else is identical to their big brother, the 6632N, however.

Our last test of the day is the Emtec Movie Cube N200.  It's an ambitious little device, with support for HD and an SDHC memory card reader.  But it's going to need more than that to produce a winner: the user interface, extra options and build quality are all points that we always make sure to check.
