Interference problems  |
This is an excellent product and I find it very useful. The only down side that I have experienced is that every time a microwave oven is used either in my own house or anywhere near (up to two houses away) it interferes with the sound and picture. Remote controls generally work, but the one for the humax digital satellite reciever I have doesnt, although all the sound and picture quality is excellent. All in all and excellent buy even with its small problems.

Excellent way of watching cable & DVD around the house  |
At home, having ITV Digital (now Freeview), Norwegian Satelite TV for my wife AND DVD and video boxes, while in the lounge I could watch all manner of things. However the two portable TVs in other rooms could only get rather fuzzy signals from an indoor aerial each.Enter the Philips SBC VL1200 set and VL1205 Extra Receiver. Running your video sources through the transmitter and connecting the two receiver boxes to the portables gives picture quality and choice unheard of before. If youve seen these and thought I bet they arent that good, think again, the picture quality apart from being slightly on the rich side (slightly redder than normal TV, but you can adjust this on most TVs) is excellent. There seems to be no interference, ghosting or any signal degredation. If you want to try, you can even change channels from upstairs using the IR extender, but I havent bothered with that. Thats about it really, they do what it says on the box and do it well. So if you fancy watching something other than terrestrial 5 channels on your bedroom portable and dont already have a cable or satellite feed, look no further than this.

Good value for money as a second set |
A good quality set, wider than some other 14" TVs due to the stereo speakers on either side of the screen. Pity that the connectors at the front of the screen werent hidden by a small panel - they detract from the set.Picture is good, with rich colours. Oddly, it takes 10 or 15 seconds to react to being turned on - youre not sure youve turned it on. The FM radio does the job very nicely, and means you dont need a radio and a TV. The much touted enhanced stereo mode I found to be very disconcerting and not pleasant to listen to, but perhaps thats just me. The standard stereo is more "normal". The set also allows for "Enhanced 4:3" to get rid of the black bars at the top of widescreen transmissions. All in all, a TV with those extra features to set it apart from the normal cheaper 14" TVs.
