TV madness
Standard Member
After my wifes Panasonic failed she purchased an 43" LG and after 18 months it is bound for the bin after a catalogue of faults.
We now need to buy a TV that is simple to use, we are both "in later life" and just want a TV to watch Freeview on and have access to the OLD version of the BBC red button.
By old I mean the version that on pressing the red button (on BBC1 and BBC News channel) gives you a listing to the right hand side side of the picture and not the version the LG would show. This being a lot of boxes to scan through and has no news list.
I was in a well know major electrical retailer today to try and find an answer and was told they couldn't test their display TV's as they were not connected to an aerial as they didn't have a TV licence, I walked out!!!
So can anyone tell me if its possible now days to buy a TV that will give my wife access to the BBC news listing that she has been use too for many years.
I would be obliged for any help or advice.
