New Television

actually, I'm fibbing - it's pretty much the same spec as the one
you're suggesting (it was the 37" Hannspree I bought earlier this year
that has the higher spec.)

 

Walk into your nearest Richer Sounds. They will make you happy.

You will need self discipline however.....

I bought one last week, £400. Sanyo 26" flat screen (CE26LD33-B).
Bought from a local dealer, probably cheaper from the big chains.
Nice sharp picture, freeview built in, good sound, idiot proof set-up.
Screen big enough, but doesnt dominate the room(which I hate).
Well pleased with it.

I think that was the DVD player tbh - I had one of them.

Thanks for making me feel old, btw.

 

ah, right.

np.

 

Doubt the old "wiggling the riser card" trick would work this time, then...

As darsy mentioned, not a bad innings really - according to its new owner, my
old one died only recently

 

Wot he said.

My advice as your attorney is to buy a motorcycle
To email me, neal at my domain should work.

 

....but I doubt if they'll make my bank account happy.

I bought the cheapy from ebuyer, £290 for delivery tomorrow seemed ok to
me.

 

Thanks. Hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow.

 

I'll be doing just that next time I'm home. These robbing Belgian
bastards seem to be charging in the region of 20-30% more for the same
tellies.

 

Best make sure you buy one which will accept British and European PAL,
else you might find yourself without sound

 

I suppose those Belgians haven't gone digital yet, Geoff?

 

Who the **** watches analogue TV these days?

 

Being affected by that sort of thing, I've been careful to check the
tuners of tellies / DVD recorders I like the look of and it seems that
many if not most have a European (or world) tuner these days. Same goes
for TV cards for the past several years. Mind you, that's analogue - I'm
not sure of Continong standards for terrestrial digital.

How much more suspenseful can you get?"

Good point - my B-i-L has a **** off number of crap channels to watch,
mainly french

doh

 

Yeah, OK - Did I say I had brain engaged while replying ?

 

DVB-T, just like the UK as far as I can tell. Mostly we're watching
satellite stuff anyway as we still have the Sky subscription.

As a slight topic drift, does ITV HD ever actually show anything? All
I've ever seen is the banner saying that it's unavailable.

 

I don't know yet - I have to upgrade the software for the satcard to get
it, but I'll be giving it a go shortly.

It was shit and is going back (it didn't arrive until today).

 

shit as in you didn't like it or shit as in it didn't work properly
(this is more common than ideal with ebuyer).
