heres hoping the Japanese big boys (Sony, Hitachi, JVC et al) join in with their own offerings

anything that helps avoid paying the Dirty Digger your hard-earned money is worth considering

Looked at the freesat website so many times, still no boxes with the hard drive in. Until they manage that I won't be jumping in. Also,the TV's are too big. A 32inch option with hard drive and a DVD player is what I want for the bedroom, and a 40inch TV is about the biggest I can get away with for my living room.

I'm assuming too that standard def looks better on freesat, some of my freeview channels are appallingly blocky.
