NEW TVs

[johntywino]

Will ANY new TV pick up either Freeview OR Freesat depending on connection to aeriel/dish, or is it tv with built in freeview or tv with built in freesat?....In our bedroom there are both aeriel and dish,and I dont want to use a box...

I don't know of one that does both. They will either be Freesat or Freeview (or neither)

Panasonic have TV's with built in Freesat, you could look these up at your nearest Store.

Thanks both, My main tv's got built in freesat,but I want a smaller one to replace a bedroom one. ..I have both cables running to it,and as freesat is sure to be a better picture than the old indoor aeriel, I was hoping to get a reasonably priced 20" tv and just plug it into freesat....I'll probably have to pay more for a freesat one by the looks of it....

there is a Panasonic that has both hd freesat and hd freeview built in but i think its only on bigger models and it costs

Yes .. there are but a few. Best get one with built in HD Freesat or Freeview .. and buy a standalone HD box for the other. I would peronally pick the one with HD Freeview internally, as one would prefer better flexibility/upgrades on the standalone box. If you are into recording freeview channels .. vice versa and make the standalone freeview an HD PVR ... which would have to be a Humax .. no doubts about that. Buy chinese hardware at your peril!
