    Okay, so my parents are looking to get a new tv, and I'm hoping the knowledgable people in here can help. I'm sure a lot of people come in with similar requests, so appreciate any help.

    They have Sky HD, so need a tv that's good for watching sports. Where is best to buy? Online? Retail store like Harvey Norman, DID etc? Would like it to be 50' anyway.

    Budget is around €1000 and thanks again

    You'll get a very good tv for 1k. Like's of this Sony's a lovely set http://www.currys.ie/Product/sony-bravia-kdl50w829bbu-smart-3d-50-led-tv/321398/397.0.2

    You'd be near enough some alright UHD tvs for that money, whether or not they want it it would depend. That W8 is well priced there

    Thanks Peintre,

    Had a look at this tv today in power city. Priced at €1199. Anyone any thoughts on this? Would I need a soundbar also to make full use of tv?

    Anybody know of a TV store where you can actually see a set working off an aerial and a dish. I need to buy a set which can receive both Saorview and Free-to-air satellite transmissions and makes it easy to switch between the two. Most shops seem to just have demo connections from in-house sources so they can't show you how the TV would work at home.

    That's because all the profit is in selling TVs, most people have Sky or UPC so the electrical shops aren't interested in the FTA or combi boxes.

    And using an inhouse signal guarantees a superb picture all day long - if they were showing terrestrial or satellite, there's always the risk that a prospective customer could walk in, see 'Little House on the Prairie' showing on a 50" 4K screen and walk straight out again!

    Panasonic vierra all the way. Make sure its a model build by panasonic and not outsourced. SONY Bravia looks good.

    For a good image on sports, your looking for a high refresh rate and LED a must. Also a high viewing angle
