Anyone have a FreeSat TV ?
I know the freeview ones are two a penny these days, but I'm looking for a new bedroom TV and I have no digital aerial. I do have a sat cable though, so was considering a FreeSat telly.
They just seem a bit expensive at the minute, but weighed against the cost of an additional freesat box, the additional remote, the clutter, or having a digital aerial installed, I'm not so sure.
Any thoughts DF'ers?
My old Panasonic g10 plasma has built in freesat probably pick one up for 100 these days
Still a great TV
yep ive got G20 and is best tv owned and freesat on it works great and with certain usb drives you can record on to it
my current dilemma is what to replace it with when it does go as panny plasmas are no more :(
I have two panny plasmas I recently replaced the g10 with a 50 inch lg. On sd the Panasonic blows it away. Hd the lg looks sharper but I am having trouble calibrating the tv
Hey,
I bought a Samsung Series 8 (UE40ES8000) a couple of years ago. Was about £1300 at the time but I have seen them for roughly £400 in places.
Freesat HD was the reason I went for it as we only have Sat connections in some rooms.
I recently bought the Evolution Kit for £50 from RGB to upgrade it to the 2014 model.
It is a fantastic TV with great Smart functions (finds my stuff on the Network from my NAS box no problem) and has the built in camera for Skype. If I can find that link again I had for £400 I might buy another as we have just had an extension done.
Can you get hold of an old Sky box-I use one in bedroom (no Ariel point but have sky cable), you can get most FTA channels & if you need to get a free sat by sky card for £25 ish to get more
