We bought a 42" Samsung Smart TV recently and I'm very happy with it for 99% of the time. I've given up on the PVR though as it's not as good as our old Humax.

Ive also got a Samsung. PVR is fussy about which drives it will work with. I bought a 2TB unit from Novatech and tv seems happy with that.

The recording setup is rubbish as it only goes by time and not by programme..so if the programme carries on for a few minutes past the time in the guide..you miss the last five minutes. A Sky+ box is smarter I imagine.

The other annoying thing is if you are in the guide and see the channel you want to go to you can't just input the number...you have to scroll down..which is slllowww.

Otherwise its a very nice TV.

Ping either SAS or Gentile. SAS used to be a transvesite but I doubt he had a 47 incher.

Try: TVs | AVForums.com - UK Online

Don't try: Gentile (as she'll dream about you and you'll die; and it will really happen, unlike the Mayan flop. When it came to death, Gentile had mastered the art, although she usually killed via very, very long posts...)

Should've stuck to slagging off noobs in the professional boards as usual, that'll learn you

I am looking for a new TV. The research done thus far, says either a Samsung 47", or a LG 55" Internet 3D tv's. Samsung has neat sensors so you can sweep your hand and change channels with voice etc.

Has anyone bought a new TV lately and have any advice?

There is just on problem; the contents of TV programmes these days are crap.

You are better of investing in books.

I'm more on par with a chopping board. A thick one.

Well your place in the heirarchy could still be i trouble...

Smart Chopping board

I don't think that is a good idea. If you make the TV smart you will be left competing intellectually with the kettle and toaster......

Is there a media box with pointer I can add to my TV to make it a "smart" TV?

Don't say a PC!
