Philips DTR 320/05 review

 

Freeview has never been such a strong contender to satellite and cable as it is now. Since the migration of E4 from the subscriptionbased Top Up TV and the launch of new channels More4, ITV4 and Sky.

Stay away

I've had this set top box for three years and it is constantly freezing between channel changes, crashing, muting itself, getting picture ratio wrong and turning itself off. Just recently it has started not storing any of the channels so every time you...

PATHETIC AND A JOKE

Title says it all!! DO NOT BUY PHILIPS FREEVIEW BOXES FULL STOP! Total and utter c**p, I have two different models both by Philips and all they do is lock up and crash 2-3 times a day, needless to say they both have HUGE dents in the top from the...

Makes a good target for a hammer!

 

Makes a good target for a hammer!

I can only add to what other people have said. After 2 months it kept freezing and the sound would constantly cut off. Spent most of my time resetting it. The only decent thing about it is that it's so rubbish it will probably still be under guarantee...

Awful

 

Awful

I cannot emphasise how much that this box is not fit for use. 1. It freezes on average 7 times a week 2. To use it after it freezes you have to switch it off and retune it 3. It is slow to change channels 4. It doesn't go from text back to picture...

Excellent!!

 

Excellent!!

I can't understand all the negative reviews on this Freeview box. I haven't had a single problem with it. It took only a few minutes to take it from the box and begin watching TV. I have a small signal booster connected to improve my reception, and...

Has crashed once in three weeks, but otherwise very good

I purchased this item three weeks ago from a well-known high street catalogue-based retailer for just £39.99. It was extremely easy to install and worked first time. Other than one crash, which occured on the first day of use, I have had no problems. I...
