Good Points

1.Very nice looking discrete shiny black box that doesn't stand out when sitting on top of the TV
2. Very clear picture and text, especially the teletext menus and screens
3. Excellent software throughout, neat menus, every functions does what it should do and the EPG and program info screen are excellent.
4.They seem to be very stable.


Bad Points

I have tried to find something that wasn't so good about the unit, but there is nothing that comes to mind


General Comments

I have used Sagems on our spare TV's for the past two years and we have become accustomed to sudden restarts, frozen units that had to be switched off and switched on again, less than helpful "EPG" screens, no text and the weekly need to re-program all the channels when the Sagem lost them.
I finally became fed up with fighting the losing battle, threw the Sagems in the bin and bought the Philips. What a breath of fresh air - I just wish we'd bought Philips at the beginning! They are faultless.
