Good Points

Bad Points
No use after digital switchover
General Comments
The Philips DTR1500 worked perfectly for 4 years until digital switchover when several channels including BB2, ITV and BBC news 24 were no longer available. Eventually received an e-mail reply from Philips who said due to its age (!) it may longer be compatible with the new signals. No amount of retuning will solve the problem so it will have to be replaced.
