For a number of weeks I've been contemplating either a Panasonic PV500 or Pioneer 436XDE. However, something has recently come to my attention (not sure how I missed it earlier) that may change things slightly.
I have a Sky setup - with TiVo, and a non HD DVD player. Whilst the thought of SkyHD is tempting, what is not is using Sky+ - TiVo is much better (IMHO). I have a funny feeling that TiVo will not be able to work with a Sky+ box - so that presents me with a problem.
So - are there any 42" Plasmas that are good at SD, but which can be upgraded to HD when I'm a little more open to other HD sources? I've seen a couple of Plasmas that seem to fit this concept - but from what I read they're not as good (once upgrade) as a natively supporting HD TV (like the two I've already suggested).
I've now seen the new Panasonics - but put off by the silver bezel around the edges (I want an all black display). Maybe the PV500's will now come down to a price which makes this "buy it SD now and upgrade it later" concept redundant?
