Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Dolby Digital-Bitstream out for surround sound

Because Dolby Digital, the world's leading digital multi-channel audio standards, make use of the way the human ear naturally processes sound, you experience superb quality surround sound audio with realistic spatial cues.

7-day Electronic Program Guide for listing of programs

You want to know what are the programs available today and for the next 7 days, so that you can avoid missing your favourite shows by planning your evenings or making pre-scheduled recordings. The data is broadcasted by the program broadcaster and when this data is available, this product compiles the information and list them in the menu for your easy use reference. Simply enter the menu, or press the EPG button on the remote control to access the program guide. The EPG will provide you with an overview, listing the program information for the upcoming 7 days.

Built-in Pulse Killer Chip neutralizes interferences

Electrical interferences are neutralised by a built in chip called PKC

Fast and automatic installation of new channels

New channels are quite often being added to the broadcasting network during the digital switchover. To ensure that you always have the access to all available channels, it is important that the product is able to scan and install new channels automatically. A very sensitive tuner in the product is scanning through the broadcasting network for new channels whenever the product is switched off. Whenever a new service is detected, it will be automatically updated and saved onto the channel list.

Integrated Digital TV with MHEG interactive applications

The MHEG integrated Digital TV allows digital TV subscribers to navigate through a screen of objects, the MHEG, using specialised links. Applications include Internet Digital TV, VOD, Home-shopping, interactive advertising, program retailing and merchandising, electronic newspaper, home banking, E-commerce application, on-line games, and so on.

Freeview access to digital TV and radio channels

You want to continue to watch the public broadcasted programs, and also the new programs that were made available during the digital switchover. You can also access MHEG services (games, EPG, videotext). No subscription required to receive the most popular TV channels in the UK brought to you in digital quality.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very good Freeview, 12 Aug 2008
    By J. Patterson - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I was a bit disappointed when I read the numerous bad reviews for this Freeview box, as when I initially read the description and spec's it all sounded pretty good. I tried looking for an alternative Freeview box but was rather surprised by the real lack of quality set top boxes on the market. It seems that just about every box is made by a little heard of manufacturer who make it their aim to make the most hideous looking box on the market. Because of this I decided to take a chance and go for the Philips which at least came from a fairly reputable manufacturer and looks good.

    Having bought and used the DTR220 for a couple of months now I have to say I am very impressed, and slightly confused as to why this item currently only has such a low rating. The box itself is very neat and compact, with the actual footprint being smaller than a DVD case and around twice as thick. It is finished in a stylish gloss black so it will match beautifully the current trend of gloss black TV's sitting on black glass stands.

    Although this box is around £10 more expensive than some of the other boxes on the market, its worth bearing in mind that it does come with a scart lead which you might have to buy for around £10 if you buy another box anyway.

    Hooked up to my digital aerial I have got a good signal on all the Freeview channels. I get little to no glitches with this box which is very impressive considering the problems Ive had in the past with other boxes. The EPG is great and easy to work with. It is also pretty quick when loading so you wont be pulling your hair out trying to find out what programme is on next.

    Based on my experience with my DTR220 I have to highly recommend this item, despite the other critical reviews. My only real criticism is the "loading" time when you switch it on from stand by, but even that is a minor issue. This is a great looking box that works brilliantly when hooked up to a decent digital aerial. What more could you ask for!

    5.0 out of 5 stars all you need & at a good price, 1 Oct 2007
    After the old Philips 200/05 box packed in after a so-called software "upgrade", I went for the 220 model and we haven't been disappointed yet. It's a small, yet stylish little black box (much smaller than the old 200/05). 7-day EPG works well, channel scan took about 5 minutes (despite the fact that we live in a low signal area and require signal boosters) and channel switching is fast (around a second, I'd say). So all in all the box seems to perform well so far.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Freeview, 2 Sep 2007
    By Mapoo (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews
    I have had all different Freeviews and this one has to be the Best... It works really fast, takes under 5 minutes to search for your channals, has a Radio button and while it plays the radio you can see little Music Notes like a screensaver on the background and it has lots of different settings from "Full screen to Widescreen" and other things...

    Great for the price... and the size of the machine is so small its the size of a "Modem Router that is used for Internet"...
