 Disappointing November 30, 2008
Shabbagaz (Preston, Lancashire)
Wish I had read the reviews on Amazon before purchasing this freeview box.
I originally bought it from Comet as I was after a freeview box for my bedroom. With my TV being a Phillips TV and with that never letting me down, I thought I could trust them when it came to the freeview box. They're a good, quality well-established make, but they well and truly let themselves down with this.
I regularly have to put up with it freezing that can happen at any moment, then this can only be fixed by pulling the plug out and putting it back in again. I thought it might have been down to my aerial, but not so after reading the many other reviews.
Also Film Four doesn't appear to work properly - I can hear the sound but no picture. All other channels work ok. Sometimes it does actually work but mostly it doesn't.
Very poor quality product - Phillips have let themselves down badly and I advise anyone to avoid buying this product.
 dont be tight buy a better box November 21, 2008

this is a cheap box and you can tell, i went through 2 in 1 month.
this box loves to freeze for no reason, then you have to unplug it from the wall then plug it back on.
just dont buy spend a bit more quid and getter a better one then this.
Not worthy of the Philips name November 17, 2008
Mr. L. Williams (Exeter)
I bought this when my reliable Daewoo box was rendered useless by a Freeview transmitter update, and what a disappointment!
The remote control is a miserable affair, tiny, with totally symmetrical keys so you can hold it upside down and wonder why it doesn't work!
When it's working the box is good but it often loses its on-screen graphics and often locks up necessitating the power being switched off and on, it then goes through its start up routine.
I think we expect better than this from Philips
 great box at a bargain price November 13, 2008
G. U. Garber (London, UK)
My old philips freeview box stopped working after 2 years, but this box seemed better designed and I sensed that it will not have the problems described in some of the other reviews. This is because we have a roof mounted aerial with a good signal.
As with our old philips box, the picture is perfect and the menu of this model is much better. I also like the layout and design of the remote control.
Setup was very easy and I have now used it for 2 weeks. It worked perfectly and I did not have to restart it once.
Great product at a good discounted price.
BUGGY October 26, 2008
Mr. J. V. Grayem
Bought two of these. Both intermitant faults. Sotware crashes, box locks up from time to time. Philips used to make some really good kit, very surprised. My advice spend a little more, getsomething decent, and make sure you check out some reviews. PHILIPS DTR220 - Dosnt do what its supposed to and thats just provide hassle free digital tv, so its no point in having one. Youll just end up with whipped dog syndrome, cursing at it and so forth when it malfunctions.
