 Timer Recordings Failure, Shoddy Construction. February 4, 2008
I. Hide
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This unit has flimsy physical construction. This would be forgiveable if the electronics performed well, but frequently when set to do a Timer Recording the unit will switch on and off at the correct time and select the correct channel but then produce a black (not blank but black) picture signal. Result can be a recording on an attached DVD Recorder that is say 30 minutes of black screen. The recorder will record this black signal as if it was a normal picture, so any safety facility on a recorder such as "No Signal - Recording Paused" will not occur as it is receiving the black TV screen signal.
Like so much of Philips equipment nowdays - could be excellent but fails to deliver. Interestingly Philips recently sold their Set Top Box buisness to Pace. With that and other sales of divisions I wonder if they are slowly exiting consumer electronics. With product quality like this they should - fast. And that is a shame as they did invent things like CD and DVD.
 dtr210 retune bug October 25, 2007

2 out of 3 found this review helpful
i have the same retune problem as a previous reviewer. some programme channels are retained after switch off but others need a retune. to avoid doing a full autoscan just manual scan the multiplex you want eg ch47. this is a lot faster than a full autoscan. you will have to know what channel number the multiplex is on before you do this. stick a post-it note with your channel numbers on the tv as a reminder. one solution is to upgrade to a dtr220 which doesn't yet have this problem. otherwise the dtr210 is a good stb.
 Clear signal but constant retuning August 31, 2007

I bought this box a month ago, and on the good points of it being easy to install, clear picture and good now and next feature, the one major drawback it that it needs constantly retuned, almost everytime we switch the T.V on. We have tried just turning the t.v. on and off and leaving the box on all the time, but re-tuning still required.
No better than cheaper models August 25, 2007
J. Brazier (Birmingham, UK)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The unit is adequate for its purpose, but the supplied scart lead is flimsy and only 80cm long, several of the remote buttons (including the red button) are fiddly at only 4mm wide, and you have to press three different buttons to get on-screen subtitles whereas some cheaper models have a dedicated subtitle button. The feet are simply moulded bumps, so it tends to fall off the TV unless stuck down. The manual is basic and omits to mention the OPT and RADIO buttons.
Bad in weak reception areas August 21, 2007

This product consistently couldnt get all the normal channels (eg channel 4) in my area. When I used an older Goodmans model it worked fine and received all channels straight away.
