Useless

The reception in the area of my house is not good but two previous digital Freeview boxes at least gave reasonable reception for the major channels. This set top box gave poor broken reception for even the strongest signal channels. It's completely useless to me.

Bad in weak reception areas

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.

OK for a basic freeview box, but not brilliant

Like the other reviewer below mentioned, if you like to flick through the channels with the bottom on screen display, while still watching the current channel, then do not buy this freeview box because it does not offer this functionality. The box is nice and small as is the remote. It has worked fine with setanta for me and set up was simple. Overall I think it is expensive for what you get, but I am a fan of Philips products so am happy to use this over the other lesser known brands.
