I have a Sony 28" Wega with integrated digital. 'They' have not got
their
act together yet. There is no card for subscription chanels available (not
mentioned by salesman) which is a pain. The worst crime though is the BBC
keep changing the frequencies for BBC, choice and news24. From one week to
the next they are never in the same place (again not mentioned by
salesman).
Everywhere I have asked just say 'thats life' and wait for the Beeb to sort
it. It's been 5 months now and no luck

Other than that the picture is great (on a small scale) and the smart link
between the tv, vid and vcr is sooo easy. My three year old can work it and
even showed the inlaws a thing or two this weekend gone.

My personal rant on the subject is that they are still allowed to sell
TV's without integrated digital, and that the ones (last time I looked)
that they do sell are rubbish.  When is it that they're currently
planning to switch the analogue transmitters off?  It can be nothing
short of profiteering.  I bought a cheapo 28" 4:3 18 months ago as a
stopgap upgrade.
