So when LG offered to send us its new HT762TZ 5.1 system, with a built-in DVD player and the added bonus of some stylish Champagne-flute speakers, we were understandably excited. As we’ve said many times, …

It’s no secret that the Japanese are into their high definition televisions — they’ve been able to watch HD for years now. They even had an analogue transmission for HD in the late 80s, beating the rest of the world by some considerable margin. It’s no surprise then that they quickly got bored of HD, and came up with something …

Here in the Crave office, we love thin. Sadly, today is Cake Thursday and that means our careful calorie management is about to need some creative accounting.

If you don’t have Sky+ or a Freeview PVR, you might not know what an awesome advantage they offer. Everyone who’s ever bought one will tell you, it’ll change your life. Unless you already download all your TV from the Interwebs, in which case it will still seem frustratingly 1998. The Sony RDR-HXD range is designed to offer as many …
