I've seen this telly in Sainsburys discounted to £349. It seems good, has good ratings. I'm not really up on whats what. It says it doesnt have built in freesat. Does that mean i would need a digibox? I'd like to get rid of the digibox to be honest.
Any other recomendations?

Looks quite good.

Are you confusing Freesat with Freeview? Freesat is using a dish (i.e old Sky dish) to get free channels, whereas Freeview uses an aerial to get free channels.

Have a look about though, you might get it cheaper. A quick google search shows it on Dixons website for £329.

It doesn't have Freeview HD, if I was buying a TV now I would want it to have a Freeview HD tuner, there will be a few more HD channels coming soon and more after the analogue switch off is complete.
