 Telefunken Platinum Telf50 DVD/VCR Recorder Combo After rummaging around in the dungeon in order to find 10 mini VHS camera video tapes of our wedding and reception taken in 2001, I elected to transfer the video from this virtually obsolete medium to DVD. Risking being in the dog house forever if I botched the job, I unpacked the unit provided by www.oo.com.au and started to connect it to a TV.
This is a 6 Head PAL/NTSC with playback HI FI & Hi speed rewind product.

 AXUS_FiT_500_box.JPG
From time to time DigitalReviews is approached to review products because of our reputation for unbiased, no holds barred reviews. I have to admit that I never heard of Axus in my travels, but they have kindly provided two of their FiT RAID Series chassis for our reviewing pleasure. Axus is a Taiwanese company that appears to specialise in storage - large amounts of it at 16 or 24 bays with fibre channel or SCSI interfaces. The Fit Series is their new foray into the lower end of the market and we will be reviewing the FiT 300E and the FiT 500E.
So how do these stack up?

 Weather Station with Lights On
The Vantage Vue was sent to us courtesy of www.davisnet.com in USA and through their Australian distributor Ecowatch at www.davisinstruments.com.au in Australia. With the product being their latest 2010 model hot off the assembly line it required some last minute radio frequency alterations to conform with Australian legal requirements.
Let me first apologise to those people who were expecting a “shoot out”. Unfortunately, the other party would not supply their product under the same concept and understanding that Davis did. Davis just said “we are sending you our latest 2010 product, compare it with whatever you like”. Nice to be so sure of yourself I guess, but I did wonder if they were perhaps too bold.
Have Davis set a new benchmark for their competitors to aspire to? Let’s see!

 motormonkey kit It has been some time since DigitalReviews visited our old friends at PowerTraveller.
While time has passed by, they have continued to innovate and launching new products onto the portable power market. The latest primate product to swing onto the reviewer's bench is the Motormonkey.
With thanks to PowerTraveller, we take a drive through the virtual jungle with the Motormonkey.

 DS4600 Here's another in-depth review by our resident NASologist, Paul Moons
RAID data security and massive amounts of storage space are usually followed by the words Networked Attached Storage.
With Promise Technology's new DS4600 you can now avoid all the complicated networking mumbo jumbo and connect a RAID device directly to your computer via USB, Firewire 400, Firewire 800 or eSATA.
Read on for our review.

 Innovate LM-2 Air-Fuel Ratio Meter Comparison Racers, Revheads and Hoons take note, if you want that extra bit of horsepower, then one of these is for you. Don’t be fooled by the size of these little tackers.
They do a lot. So much so, that one has a 51 page user manual and a separate 151 pages of instructions on how to get the most out of your engine via tuning by programming and deep analysis.
I have tested both from a home mechanics perspective and called it as I've seen it. Good points, bad points and also judged the back up service by supplier.
How hard are they to hook up to different cars with and without OBD plugs, including my Ferrari and Supercharged 700hp AC Cobra?
