The Philips DTR1500 looks quite good and is easy to use but the sound cuts out and now the picture on some channels freeze. It starts with ITV, then after a couple of days, I lose all channels. I'm very disappointed with my Philips DTR1500 since I paid top price and it only lasted a year. I have had a cheap and nasty Bush which has been pretty good.

I bought my Philips DTR1500 freeview box from Ebay as I wasn't sure of the reception where I was moving to. There was no aerial in the house, and it even worked very well with a portable aerial from Argos. Now I have a decent aerial in the loft, I have crisp perfect reception. No faults, reception issues or problems. No gripes at all, especially for £25.

I have owned the Philips DTR1500 Freeview box for over a year, and to be fair it is a good little box, and is not the ugliest by any means. The aerial setup is my biggest gripe as you have to select a single channel and adjust the aerial, while not knowing if the other frequencies have fallen away!
It has suffered from overheating with the sound going funny, and distortion at the top of the picture. This has happened 3 times over the course of a year, so not really a big issue.
I find it har ...

Bought for £69 at Comet, I am generally very pleased with the Philips DTR1500 box except for a problem with the sound. Every 30 seconds or so, the sound cuts out for about a second. This happens on all the TV channels and all the radio channels, more so on some than others (channel 5 is the worse). This is annoying especially when listening to music on the radio channels. There is no corresponding interference on the picture. Any users got any ideas on how to correct this ?

I bought a Philips DTR1500, my 1st venture into the world of digital TV, because I refuse to pay a subscription to other digital providers, I went with Freeview.
This in my opinion was the best box on offer at the time, and I was right, as I was surprised to find that other boxes only had one Scart connection, so how you connect it up to a VCR, as well as your TV I don't know.
But anyway this has 2 Scart connections one for the TV and one for the Video.
After the simple processes of connectin ...

Im very happy with the Philips DTR1500 freeview box except that it appears to loose some channels when an automatic update of channels list happens. You have to do a "Factory reset" to recover this and loose you favourites. Also the manual is wrong with the instructions of how to do this.

Philips DTR1500 - Easily set up, once you have read the manual and identified your particular configuration.
Picture and graphics quality is good considering signal strength in my area.

I have had a DTR1500 for 6 months mated to a Philips VCR850 for timer recordings off Freeview - it is superb for this but obviously only at CVBS level though numerous output formats can be chosen including SVHS and SVideo as well as RGB and PAL-CVBS.
The menus are easy to navigate but very comprehensive - you really can set this box up to meet every equipment set-up. The instruction book really takes some getting to know but is well worth the effort.
For me the graphics are better than Sony (i ...

Was looking for a DVB Freeview box and after checking out prices on the internet saw this Philips DTR1500 for £68.00 inc. delivery!!! Bought it straight away from greatsaves.co.uk and although the price is now, at time of writing, £75.00 it's still cheaper than anything listed on kelkoo, pricerunner(or indeed this website).
Received it 2 days later, pleased to find batteries for remote were included, and plugged it in. In order to get record function working properly I needed 3 sc ...
