"This issue’s cover star is Humax’s FVP-5000T, a triple-tuner Freeview Play PVR that aims to challenge Sky Q and Virgin Media TiVo when it comes to features and flexibility – with a monthly subscription… Also on the test bench is Panasonic’s 65EX750, the brand’s latest 4K HDR LCD TV – can this set live up to the standards set by the Japanese corp’s OLED models? We also check out Wharfedale’s affordable Diamond 11 HCP 5.1 package; Q Acoustics’ M2 soundbase; a premium 4K projector from SIM2; floorstanding Piega Classics speakers; Optoma’s bright-room friendly HD39 Darbee projector; 43in and 49in Ultra HD screens from Philips and Toshiba; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered. On the software side we kick back with new Blu-ray/4K releases including Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Baby Driver. Plus, inspired by Transformers: The Last Knight Mummy, we round up our top 10 Michael Bay movies. Elsewhere, we take a tour of the finest home cinemas in the UK and beyond with this year’s CEDIA Awards; enjoy an evening with Wisdom Audio’s high-end Insight speakers; countdown the 20 best movie car chases of the last 20 years; and wonder whether long movies need to have intermissions. Plus all the usual opinions, advice, news and more. Enjoy the show!
