    I think they're combining their R&D aren't they, rather than just picking up the Panasonic panels, so hopefully some of the Pioneer tech should make its way into the next gen of Panasonic panels too.

    And what's the verdict? I still haven't mounted my centre speaker (an Anthony Gallo Nucleus Micro) above the set yet, as the required position lies directly on top of the gas flue in the wall. I'll get round to it...

    Will you be taking the day off to await its arrival?

    Indeed. A gallery of evil: http://www.nickjr.co.uk/shows/index.aspx

    Thankfully our kids have moved on from that and "progressed" from "Nick Jr" to "Nick Toons". Although with a baby due next week we may regress at some point.

    All credit to you though, as least you won't get subjected to hours of Spongebob Squarepants by your kids.

    Television? We're happy with a wooden ball and a piece of string. But we do get the pleaseure of threatening letters from the TV Licence folk who view not having a TV as a form of criminal asocial behaviour.

    Nobody pays RRP

    But oh yes it is wonderful, can't wait to get it in the house. They are stopping making them next year and buying in Panasonic screens to rebadge as thier own so if you want one you have to get it now, if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have done it, the joys of interest free credit .
