When I met my fiancee 18 months ago, all she could recieve on her TV was channel 2 and channel 3, at least I gotta a choice was what she said but thats like wow I got two choices so off to the warehouse we trundle and buy a cheap freeview box now i get a few more choices and picture has improved although its not the box top I wanted its all we could afford. I am looking forward to winning the freebox I wanted originally. TIA Andy
I use an Elgato EyeTV on my Macbook Pro which has a 24" LCD attached that I can swivel around to face my bed. The living room is just a cheap 26" Panasonic LCD TV on analogue TV with an old Macbook for non-tv content and sharing shows recorded on my EyeTV with the flatmates.
The number of CRTs in here is amazing! Here's one more:
32" widescreen Sony CRT, about 6 years old NAD 5.1 receiver, about 10 years old and going strong Image speakers, same age as the NAD, still amazing Cheap DVB-T (Freeview terrestrial) tuner from 1-day, works very well though Sony CD player which was 2nd-hand when I was given it in about 1989 Wii Half-baked mythtv box, only has analogue tuner, but is only used for playback of downloads anyway Panasonic DVD player, about 5 years old 15+ year old Sony VCR, for ornamental purposes only Logitech Harmony 525 universal remote, this is the best purchase I ever made
We have Sky , plus the usual DVD, big LCD screen etc . My wife is addicted to Sky's Cooking channel , she gets inspired by all these amazing cooks and chiefs and nips off to the the kitchen to make these amazing meals. I eat restaurant quality meals every night now . I spend a lot of time watching the history channel. I am getting bigger and bigger, my clothes don't fit me anymore, I may not be able to walk without assistance soon. I note that Freeview does not have a cooking channel nor a history channel. I need Free view for my health, think of it an anti obesity programme .
MEAN! This device would make my basic set-up, intermediate
My current setup:
42 inch LCD TV PS3 FreeView HD Wii DVD/USB player
All the above connected to a 5.1 home theatre via HDMI cables
Wii connected to WLAN PS3 has connection to LAN
3 laptops and 1 desktop on the WLAN/LAN, streaming video etc to PS3 via TVersity. PS3 will only play DVD, BR and rips of movies so use DVD/USB player to play cam, TS etc
Add me if ya play MW2 on PS3 I'm on it hard-out lol profile name: "Tuitama"
Did have a TV DVR setup on a 2nd PC but not any more :( was looking into getting My FreeView but decided to wait for Google TV to hit NZ
Also looking to buy a 3D TV for Christmas hit me up if ya know a good deal going :)
I have a Sony Bravia 46 inch Full HD LCD TV, My Sky HDI, Sony PS3, WDTV Live HD Media Player. A freeview box would go great in the bedroom as I currently have to wireless receiver my lounge TV up to the bedroom.
I just purchased a new 50inch LG Plasma TV which would go great with the Homecast HT9200DTR. I'm still living in the past with just an old 2ch Aiwa stereo (the ones where the multi cd changer would always fail just outside of the warranty).
Main bits are Sony 42 inch LCD, mysky, old modded xbox, and a NAS. In the bedroom there's an old broken TV from after the earthquake, probably replace with a new one when new move into our new house :)
