TV setup advice
Posted: Tue Dec 03, 2024 10:51 pm
Recently binned Virgin due to ludicrous price hikes. I have a firestick and am personally happy just using that.
My Wife wants the user features we had before - live TV guide, ability to track progress through series etc (better still would be full recording but shes accepting that might not happen).
She was about to fork out £20pcm for a sky streaming box. Apparently our lack of aerial limits options to get the features she wants.
We've had a further look around and TV's with freeview built in appear to be an option, negating the need for an aerial. We're also looking at indoor digital aerials.
I'd rather buy a new telly and put the current one in the spare room or give it to somebody as an update than pay Sky £20 per month indefinitely for a convenience that is surely available elsewhere.
Can anyone advise on possible solutions and reflect on some personal experience of how good these options are please?
Freeview
TV guide
Recording
If buying a new TV I would take the opportunity to upgrade to one with premium sound and picture for sports and movies. No bigger than 44 inch ideally. Currently have a Sony 44 inch which has been great but don't even think it's 4k - the horror!
Any advice gratefully received. Ta.
