Default HD TV is Free - there is no resaon not to get your eyes saved

If you do not have a FreeviewHD Aerial
you can get a grant or free to have one, if you are old.


So BBC1HD , BBC2HD , BBC4HD, BBCNewsHD,
ITV1HD and Ch4HD are all free of charge


If you are in a Zone that does not get a Signal
you can have FreesatHD which is far better
as so many more world news channels.

FreesatHD works the same as SkyHD


HDTV is broadcast is in 1080i
one below Blu Rays


If you are watching all channels in non HD
your eyes will get worse


With HD you can get close to the Screen and see a Lady News Caster Eyes,
worked on.

Emmerdale is in HD 1080i


HDMI cables can only fit one way
so a 4 year old could plug it in

most people in the UK nowadays have HD TVs
The problem that arises is that most have SD Freeview built in so you have to buy another box for like £80 for HD

Of Course


But they are now so cheap in Price

A massive 4K HD LED TV was in Aldi
for just £300.


You can Buy a 32" 1080P LCD
for £150.

So of Course you buy a HDMI TV
many even my new one has a Scart
so all connections are there

No a HD box is £50


New TV's now have FreeviewHD built in.

Old type Flat Screen CRT Tube TV's take up to much space.
Cost more on your Electric Bill

it's about time...
They all used to just stick with SD
we're trying to get Sky HD all over the home because we're stuck with Freeview upstairs and the choice is abysmal.

One of my TV's is from Finland
its Finlux 26" 1080P 3-D LED



I have 5 TV's
and I wanted some to be on one channel non stop
So that TV is FoxNewsHD , SkyNewsHD ,. RTHD
or France 24 English.


I also use the Finlux to check 3-D Blu Rays
I have a LG 3-D blu ray into that
and then it can go into the Pioneer 3-D Blu Ray/SACD Multi Channel
into the 2 other 3-D's LED's of 32 " and 40"
