Philips DVDR520H

Advantages: Freeview,160GB HDD,appearance,Cost,Ease of Use
Disadvantages: Not Multi Region,Only DVD-R(W) , remote on big side

...Plays formats DVD, DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW Records formats DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW Timeslip function Yes MY OPINION I was one of the 1st people to have Sky digital but seeing the subscriptions go from £10 upto £42 When I finally cancelled my contract, I thought I could no longer justify the price any longer. I thought I would miss Sky but surprisingly I haven't.....Freeview is an excellent option..... I have owned 3 dvd recorders altogether , this is the 3rd one and the BEST, the other 2 DVD recorders were both Phillips,1 with a 80GB Hard Disk and the other just a recorder. This unit in my opinion has much more to offer than the other Phillips - (DVDR520H & DVDR610) so much so I sold the Phillips Hard drive the other month...... I have Freeview built into my Toshiba Television so I wanted a unit that I could watch one freeview... Read review

Advantages: Value for money, best picture
Disadvantages: not the best looking

...The 36" Philips Flat screen TV is in in my opinion the best in the range. I stood in Selfridges and John Lewis for about 2 hours trying to decide which 36 inch had the best picture. The Hitachi was awful, the new Sony was also poor and far too expensive at about £2,500. It came down to the Philips and the Panasonic. The Panasonic looks better, but the Philips is cheaper, and has a clearer and brighter picture. The on screen displays are great, the remote control is not amazing, but it does the job. Definitely the best value for money.... Read review

Advantages: They sound fine
Disadvantages: Irreplaceable rubber caps fall of WAY TOO easily

...Beware Beware Beware before buying ANY Philips in-ear headphones. They come with little rubber ear caps... that just loosely "hang" on the end of each headphone to seal into your ear. These things get lost EXTREMELY easily, easpecially if you are running or doing any type of exercise activity. When you lose them in a matter of a few months, you are completely out of luck & WILL NOT find anywhere that seels them. As a matter of fact, I was told Philips purposely does not sell these cheap little items so people must buy a whole new set of headphones which ,to me as a customer, is insulting. Trust me, you will go through the same experience as I if you buy ANY Philips in-ear headphones.... Read review
