The thing is, what's the point in buying an HD box if you have an SDTV, my mum's 5/6 year old Sony CRT Freeview IDTV (TUTV compatible, bar the Anytime service) works perfectly fine, it doesn't need replacing, it (hopefully) has plenty of life in it yet, and my backyard salvaged Ferguson 21" also has plenty of life in it, so buying an HD box to watch 2 HD channels and played back on an SD TV, I see a flaw in their logic, so, in my opinion, it's all a big con...  |
hi m8,its like this...i got much the same as you.
my son has massive hd flat screen.
on 625 lines its like venitia blind.big screen needs more lines.
as for box,having used a fta sat box with totaly usless EPG.
at least using the freesat box you can see whats coming on.
i,ve got two freeview,one sky,one fta receiver,but soon i,ll need freesat or freeview tv in every room,and unless i buy pvr unit i need another for the video.with 5 tv,s in the house, its going to be expensive to get it all on digital.but if i switch it all on at the same time ,i can turn off the heatig and save on expensive gas.lol.
cheers
