Analogue is all but dead, Digital has been embraced…we move on.
Have you seen those images of all the analogue TVs in scrap yards? We now live in the Digital age, which has improved our lives endlessly.
But what about the next big thing? What about the next wave of technology which means we need to upgrade again?
I am all for advancement, but I am against the constant need to purchase the latest model because it can do something my current model cant.
And that’s why I love TVonics DTR-Z500HD, simply the World’s Best Digital TV Recorder.

This Freeview+ HD Digital TV recorder allows you to watch, record and pause digital SD and HD TV and with its 500GB Hard drive you can record hundreds of hours of your favourite programs.
Standard stuff, I hear you saying. Well, check this out…
When I first got this box, the above was all it could do and I was more than happy with it. I had ditched a cheaper version because of better clarity of picture and sound, not to mention an easier to use interface.
But now, after a free software upgrade available from the TVonics website, I get BBC’s iPlayer at a touch of the button.
This essentially makes my box a new version, up to date with the latest technology…at no extra cost.
An electronic gadget that can evolve and improve? The DTR-Z500HD is the way forward. What is interesting is how long this box can stay at the top.
As long as the updates keep coming, I guess.
And TVonics will continue with the software updates. Even better, Once the free software upgrade is downloaded, consumers will be able to receive future software and feature updates automatically via their internet connection, so there is no need to manually update products to get the latest software upgrades.
Andy Carr, CTO of TVonics commented: “We are committed to listening to our customers and providing them with the services they really want. Upgrading our Freeview+ HD recorders with internet services allows us to ensure that all customers have the latest features without a lot of hassle. Now, all they have to do is switch on and take advantage of new services as they arrive”.
So TVonics DTR-Z500HD Freeview+ HD recorder can remain new, regardless of how old it may be.
That’s why it is the World’s Best Digital TV Recorder.
A contender for the World’s best music system, Bang & Olufsen’s BeoSound 5 Encore is every music fans dream machine.
It looks great and when played out through a Bang & Olufsen speaker system sounds great too,but offers so much more.

Available connection to 13,000 internet radio stations and the option to instantly index and access your digital music collection from any USB, wireless handheld device, hard disc or computer all stack up to make this a winning product.
But again, there’s more. And this is the interesting part!
Using Bang & Olufsen’s patented MOTs algorithm, the BeoSound 5 Encore can automatically generate playlists based on the selection of a single track.
Based on your track selection, the BeoSound 5 Encore analyses every track on your device to automatically select music with a similar musical signature, so you can effortlessly generate playlists to set the mood, whether you’re heading out on the town or hosting an intimate dinner party.
For me, this is the major USP of the product, although it does look very sexy too. But the ability to create a playlists from one song is just a very clever idea.
World’s Best Music System? It’s up there.
Check out the video of the BeoSound 5 Encore HERE.
The Zeppelin speaker from Bowers & Wilkins was always a market leader. Now they have released the finest Zeppelin yet, the Zeppelin Air.
It has to be contender for World’s best iPod speaker.

This offers performance, flexible functionality and super good looks.
At £499.99, it’s not going to dent the bank balance too much either. The iPod speaker has received universal praise since its release and is considered the best in class premium iPod speaker.
The Zeppelin Air is the first premium iPod dock to feature new Apple AirPlay® wireless streaming technology. AirPlay allows music to be streamed wirelessly from a computer to the Zeppelin Air.
Everything from track selection to volume levels is controlled from either your PC or Mac, or via an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
With dramatically improved sonic performance from updated drive units, five corresponding dedicated audiophile amplifiers specially designed by Bowers & Wilkins, and featuring radically improved bass, the Zeppelin Air redefines wireless sound at home, providing a truly room-filling experience.
And while Zeppelin’s iconic shape has been retained, the Zeppelin Air offers the ultimate in Bowers & Wilkins design and functionality, making this my ‘World’s best iPod speaker’.
Sub-Zero have to be in the running for the World’s best fridge title, either the classic double built in models or the newer Pro 48 fit the bill.
We are talking high performance utilising pioneering technology, developed for NASA no less.

We are also talking superior aesthetics. The built in models blend into a kitchen, and compliment the overall look with a seamless design continuity.
The built-in series is available in overlay and Sub-Zero’s classic stainless steel configurations.
A vast capacity of 802 litres which has been fully utilised with intelligent storage solutions is available in the largest built in model.
As the innovators of food preservation, Sub-Zero has adopted a system that purifies the air inside the refrigerator; a process that was developed initially for NASA to aid food preservation.
Sub-Zero’s Built-In line is priced from £6,014.50 including VAT.
The PRO 48 is new on the scene. It is the largest residential refrigerator freezer on the market with an impressive total capacity of 844 litres.

What makes something the World’s best? In my experience it has to be a blend of the highest quality craftsmanship, price (value?) and a need for such a product.
I need this product!

Cole Henley have produced the ultimate in Al Fresco dining, the Barbeque table.
This is where ‘World’s best’ comes into its own – what a truly brilliant idea.
Think back to the last Barbeque you were at. The focal point would have naturally been the Barbeque, with a cluster of people chatting and inspecting the cooking process.
Now, thanks to Cole Henley, you can bring the Barbeque to the table. The Barbeque is now a real social event, even allowing people to cook their own meats to their own specification.
The 8 Seater Barbecue Table costs £3,100 and the 6 Seater Barbecue Table is £2,600. With no compromise on materials, these are outstanding pieces of garden furniture.
Made using iroko wood and brushed steel, the finish is appealing and enduring. With accessories like an iroko wood grill cover, the Barbeque can be used as a normal table. The thought process has been thorough.
The Barbeque itself is gas-fired with independently controlled grills. There is very little smoke produced during cooking yet there can be just the right amount of heat for everyone to sit and enjoy the warmth long after the meal is over.
Cole Henley also operate a personalised delivery service which includes the team positioning and assembling the table and then giving a lesson on how to use and maintain it.
There can be no doubt, this is the Worlds best Barbeque.
