hi guys
Just a query referring to the two items above. Im based in ireland and have a basic sky dish. From my research and demos so far:
G10B - uk model including freesat with no mpeg4
G10L - European model excluding freesat with mpeg4.
Nows here where it begins to get confusing, i received a demo in a shop yesterday (G10B) showing freesat, which i already know about as i set up my dads panny pz81, but the demonstrater also showed me the rte channels (ireland) through what he described was a trial frequency from rte. he did say that rte could change this frequency and then the G10B may not pick these up whereas i believe the G10L still will.
Received another demo today, G10L this time showing rte channels, that was grand (on an aside does anyone know exactly how the tv picks up these channels, does it need a seperate aerial or does the tv have all the inbuilt technology to receive them directly?) but the assistant said that while the tv wasnt advertised as freesat some people where picking it up along the border with northern ireland and the east coast of ireland. this appears to boil down to the signal for freesat not being available in ireland yet.
my query is which tv should i purchase as i am confused at present, as both possess some firm assets along with other perhaps less tangible attributes.
as i have basic sky already, it is the same as freesat minus bbc hd, itv hd and couple of music channels, so im thinking that the G10L would be of more benefit as it would allow me to receive rte, tg4 and tv3 channels.
Also i understand that the G10L has more scope for advanced calibration in comparison with the G10B.
Does anyone know whether panasonic will be extending their 5 year warranty. gentleman selling the G10B said there would be no problem and the g10L salesman said that panasonic where more than likely to extend their warranty but he couldnt gaurantee it.
Apologies for the long post but my head is spinning.
Cheers for any comments or assistance
