Digital Aerial Advice - Problems receiving Freeview Channels.

In some UK areas a wideband aerial upgrade may be needed to receive Freeview digital terrestrial TV. It is possible that the type of aerial fitted was designed just to receive a narrow group of existing analogue TV channels. Such an aerial will give poor reception (at best) if the digital TV channels in your area are outside the frequencies that the existing aerial was designed to receive.

We advise that you use a direct Aerial connection rather than an Indoor Aerial as more often than not this will give you either no reception or very poor reception when viewing Freeview Channels.

Missing two vital components, a badge on the front that says "Sony", and a leg lift price for all those that believe the b*****s talked about TV's on here.

Power consumption is quite high by todays standard. Maybe cheapish now but expensive in the long run.

unfortunately no one seems to know, we all need a guinea pig, any volunteers.
If anyone is in market for a set
Buy this, keep it mint and don't lose the packing etc, try it for a couple of days, no good return under DSRs simples
PS don't know why everyone goes on about sony, all the stuff of theirs i have bought over the last 10 yrs has not been up to the standard of times gone by
oh and response time is a measurement of time it takes for pixel to change in colour

Basically, cutting a long story short the lower the number the better will mean less motion blur seen on fast action scenes.

6ms is a good number really about the same as a lot of PC monitors
