YET ANOTHER FAILED PRODUCT FROM PHILIPS.

 

YET ANOTHER FAILED PRODUCT FROM PHILIPS.

On the face of it this set top box has the stylish looks and connectivity you could hope for. The on-screen menus are best described as Eccentric which is the Philips norm. It will programme itself without too much fuss and find all the channels you...
