Thirty-three quid in Tesco's - the cheapest I found anywhere PLUS the advantage of Tesco's no-quibble guarantee and returns policy.
This Philips DTR200 does the job and does it well. I feel the negative comments about it on this board result from aerial/signal strength problems as especially the BBC channels are reproduced perfectly. Channel 5 is problematical with occasional freezing and pixellation and little wonder with the signal strength indicator bars doing a waltz. As this digital TV lark is fairly new in my location it's probably still "running in".
I was astonished at how easy the DTR200 was to connect up and allow the automatic tuning to grab the full complement of channels. ANYONE should be able to instal this neat and attractive unit and I can't see even a much more expensive job giving any better performance as I feel it's that good and I feel five stars all round is justifiable. I know some other boxes have more "features" but this one has enough for me to justify five stars for Performance.
Highly recommended.
