Thought I'd post this in case anyone has orders pending with Empire so you can start to get in the queue for a refund (hopefully).

Bad news to the "5 Year Warranty" I got with the TV that I only bought in January.

Fingers crossed that the Toshiba outlasts that.

.....this is getting silly now, the banks need to start lending money again.

They cannot lend what they don't have, thats what has got us in this mess in the first place.

It goes to show how badly managed all these companies are, at the slightest sign of trouble its like domino's.

Am I right in thinking the 5 year warranty may be covered by my credit card, as it was part of the cart when I purchased the TV.

I feel sorry for all those people that signed up to be edExtra members :s eek.
Also I feel sorry for the staff that this has suddenly been announced, although the lack of stock and holes in the shelves should have been a sign.
