[QUOTE="pgh13, post: 153683, member: 191774"] I never understood why the UK sucked consumers into/manipulated them into dead technologies like SD widescreen in the first place ;) The US and Japan already had HD at that time and it was only the ad agencies in the UK that ultimately got broadcasters fully into SD 16:9. Saying that, I actually liked the PAL+ transmissions :eek: on Channel Four way back in 1687. let the suckering continue....been looking at 32in LCD of late (yes I know!) and am amazed at the number of sets claiming to be HD ready that don't have Freeview tuners - I know the 2 aren't related, but the attitude seems to be "sod today's technology; here's tomorrow's" Also, there seems to be quite a premium for a Freeview equipped set which costs maybe £5 to fit at the factory [/QUOTE]
