The receiving part is flawed. While 3 more in use is harmless receivers offer all programs, according to the 5005er the reception quality on some channels / transponders can be bad, so he shows no picture but demands to review the connection.
Once teletext or Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) to be called, will be completely taken away from the picture and sound - ie pursue in the background the news or a sports program while choose the rest of the evening program or teletext for additional information Browse is not possible; what is this please because ??
HDCP - handshake issues: Premiere HD encrypts the transmission of its movies via HDCP protocol; well and good. However, Philips has problems if it is not connected via HDMI directly to the TV but an AV amplifier is connected in between. Then comes no image on TV at - once an unencrypted transmission occurs (Sport or Discovery HD) is the image then re there. Such problems are not known to me from the HUMAX HD-1000 or from the PS3 or my Blu-Ray player.
Because some stations from the 5005er not been received, I had all the time still an older digital receiver connected in addition to the antenna output of Philips. The next unpleasant surprise came when I removed this - the Philips 5005 suddenly showed only "no signal" and it was no longer a station to receive. According to Philips Support this may be related to some of the multi-switches Satelittenanlage who do not like the Philips. Then the work is only when an additional receiver is connected and switched on. So it sit an absolute roulette game at which plant the Philips his ministry is doing and where not.
In my odyssey with the Philips Support I have a little stomach ache on the quality. A staff member said in my note for disconnecting of picture and sound at EPG and Teletext: "This should be fixed with the last update" - I wish the support would be here better informed; a list of which has been changed by a software update at all, there are unfortunately also not from Philips. Another support staff meant the picture / sound is disconnecting been built consciously on the basis of customer requirements - strangely - all the that bothered always could activate by "mute button" mute yet
When handshake issue a support person wanted by switching the digital output from HDMI to DVI remedy - if I will really know but the HDCP signal just as we spent as specified via DVI HDMI - only the sound is not transmitted with DVI with?
Long story ...
... One or the other may subjectively weighted more heavily by me and be as bothersome as by others, the sum of which occurred in my plant Kosntellation problems (which I with other receivers continue to just it does not have) brings me to the statement, that here is not sophisticated or only moderately tested device was thrown on the market. Experiences with other HDTV receivers, I have personally only with the HUMAX HD-1000 - this I can recommend without hesitation, however, so far.
I hope one or the other helps this review - I ask my typo apologizing :-)
