What is Freeview Playback?
Digital Living I've seen adverts for Freeview Playback and noticed that there are a couple of Freeview receivers with the logo on them. You should care because those nice people at Freeview, and the hardware manufacturers, are trying to make your life a little...

Why isn't Freeview on LCD and plasmas as good as on my old TV?
Digital Living I keep looking to make the jump to a new TV, yet every time I look at them the standard Freeview picture is poor in comparison to my five-year-old Toshiba 32ZP18 TV. There is a further problem regarding Freeview.

Which 40-inch Sony LCD TV should I buy?
Digital Living They both offer 1080p support, as well as the usual inputs and built-in Freeview. The better picture processing on the X2000 improves the quality of Freeview pictures and standard-definition DVDs. I'm a bit confused by the difference between the...

Taking your television for a drive
Digital Living In a way it's what those crazy kids call a mash-up of the two existing devices it has replaced in our living room: a basic Telewest cable box and a Freeview personal video recorder. The Freeview PVR allowed us to store programmes on a hard drive.

What size television should I buy?
Digital Living This will reduce the overall quality of the picture and make it far easier to spot the problems with standard-definition sources such as Freeview. It's also pretty good -- but not the best we've seen -- with standard-definition pictures from...

Best budget hi-def LCD TV?
Digital Living Lastly, you'll probably want a TV that has integrated Freeview tuner. The buzz in the AV world may be all HD-related, but in the real world Freeview isn't going to die any time soon. Toshiba's 32WL56 has been winning plaudits thanks to its picture...

Archos AV 700 TV
Digital Living Archos goes full circle with the AV 700 TV, adding a Freeview tuner so you can watch live television on the move as well as viewing prerecorded programmes from the hard drive. Will you be tuning in or turning it off?

Is now the right time to buy a new TV?

Spam TV, You TV, Global TV
Digital Living I love Freeview The screen experience is increasingly mundane. It's less and less special because there's more and more of it about. We are drowning in video content. Even the bus that takes me home now has a video screen that shows footage from...

Which Samsung LCD TV?
Digital Living Otherwise, the specifications are exactly the same -- it's still an HD Ready, 32-inch LCD TV with a Freeview digital tuner and plenty of connections. I've been reading your TV reviews and I'm really interested in the Samsung LE32R41BD.

Bringing it all back home
Digital Living I'm a typical UK consumer: I have a Telewest cable connection, a BT phone line, an Orange mobile phone, a Freeview box and a Telewest broadband connection. How big is your bill for digital services at home?
