Panasonic DMR-PWT550EB PVR/Blu-ray Player Combi Review

What is the Panasonic PWT550?

The Panasonic DMR-PWT550 is another in the long line of multi-purpose devices from the Japanese manufacturer. It features playback for DVD and Blu-ray discs, recording for Freeview broadcasts and a range of apps, notably streaming services from Netflix and Amazon and access to most of the major UK catch-up services – iPlayer and the like – via Freeview Play. That’s not to mention network and local media playback, 4K Ultra HD scaling and Panasonic’s own TV Anywhere service. All this, and more besides, can be had for just under £280/$420 (July 2016), online, which might be something of a difficult price-point to justify given the slightly higher specified, but retailer exclusive,PWT655EB is available for, more or less, the same money.
