More advice from the experts please !
I think I've finally sorted out a completely new TV set-up by "researching" here, & there, and just wondered if I'm making any huge blunders. We would like to have decent HD on any broadcasts available, good viewing, and easy recording with archiving possibilities by PC , stick, or direct to old DVDR.
Constraints were cost (around £500ish, plus installing Freesat), and a smallish set due to the place we want to have the TV ( A 19" old Sony at present ), and our dislike of a huge monster lurking in the corner.
From Richer Sounds, I've come up with:-
1) Samsung P2470hd with what looks like all the bells/whistles we're likely to need. ( Supposedly better than the T240hd , and the spec looks it)
Price - £270
2) Humax Foxsat HDR - looks a very good piece of kit, recommended here as well as by "Which" - although they made a few boobs in their review of it. Price - £240
The Freesat dish etc.. is around £120, here in Somerset - that's for a twin cable, to allow two prog's to be recorded etc... , info I am again grateful to the Forum for providing.
Any comments gratefully recieved.
