The competition runs from now until the 19th November 12pm, when I will lock this thread and draw a winner. You have two ways to enter:

1.You can reply once to this thread with some more information about what you have now in your home entertainment - is it just a TV, a home theatre, Sky, is it HD or not, etc. Make it entertaining. Just a "Me too!" is not enough. A photo entry will add a bonus point!

Do you need decent UHF reception to make this work?

We have a hand-me-down CRT TV, a 15 yr old stereo for sound, and a 2nd hand Sony DVR. No Sky. No HD. No 3D.

(Hanging out for higher bandwidth and cheaper Internet traffic, really, I guess!)

our current setup is nothing fancy, a plasma and HTIB.. a freeview recorder will add some zest into it!

I'd have to give this to my mother for her 50" rear-pro. She's currently got an HDD recorder and a freeview box, but can never figure out how to record from one to the other!

Hmmm.. current set-up includes:

Ancient JVC DVD home theatre (5.1 but its not working proper-like), an even more ancient Panny VCR, a somewhere in-between Sony mini system which is only the second stereo I've ever owned.
Latest addition is an LG 42LD650 telly which is way nice compared to the old Grundig CRT I had, although I think the Grundy anchored the house nicely during the earthquake...!
Standard Sky signal, not the flashy MySky one, Freeview via UHF (makes for pretty pictures compared to the rabbit ears!)

Give me free stuff. Please.

We have mySky HD with a fairly old plasma....

And my pet peeve is that I watch European rugby and pretty much nothing else (otherwise box sets) so I hate having to shell out for the basic package and sports - why not a pay-per channel option

Now, rant over

My room has a Dreambox DM7020, and a 24" LG monitor masquerading as a TV (with the help of a Genius TV-Go and a Philips Micro System)

Would be nice to be able to watch Freeview|HD content and record it in HD.

We'll I have just been overseas for 2.5 years and returned with not much.

So at the moment:
- no TV (did have a 37" lcd, but lent this to my brother while overseas)
- no dvd, or stereo, or vcr
- no sky
- no freeview

So will have to try and wrangle my tv back off my brother, and freeview would be a bonus! :)

Panasonic 42" Plasma
MySky HDi
Random brand DVD player
Nintendo Wii

crappy analogue reception but good enough to get perfect DVB-T! and of course DVB-S via Sky dish.

this PVR would allow me to free myself from the shackles of Sky!

Any posts are personal comments and not that of my employer
