I need a new tellybox

[BlueSharp]

Sure, I have the Roku, in terms of reviewing the TV In isolation: Samsung software is garbage.

Roku are a good choice and I had it on my old setup. Web OS on LG is very good and I have not felt the need to get an upgraded Roku yet.

Tis always the way...

Once a Samsung TV model year has been out of production for a year or so they stop sending updates

But as commented already on this thread you really need a TV stick (roku, sky, amazon, apple) to separate the software from the TV itself.

I have a Samsung, curved LCD, 4K HDR etc, picture quality is great, however the software is absolute garbage - slow, forcing their crap channels etc. It was marginally better when I got it, with each software update it gets worse.

There's plenty of sub 50" tv's to have a looksee at. Someone must have the greater than 32" filter on!

Getting some strange happenings recently when switching on our tv. It's a Toshiba 42" and recently switches itself on after switching on the sky box as it's meant to. The screen has been showing multi coloured lines for a split second before switching itself off then back on again after a few seconds when it's all good again. One day it lost all sound even when tuned to digital tv not through the sky box.

It only does this on first start up of the day. In anticipation of it going pop, Ive been looking at a couple of Samsung and LG 43" tv's in the £380 range.

I bought a very nice LG from Richer Sounds. Was around £800 but was a 55". Three months on am still very happy.

Just seen that's what you did! Good call!
