Sony Bravia 40" flat screen HD ready top quality picture and can see picture from all angles
my TV uses 4 watts on standby, which is sweet FA. I have a couple of rechargers on full time for plugging in the MacBooks, they draw around 12w even when charging. Most of the wasted juice goes on fridges, forget the odd standard bulb here and there, get the fridges turned down for real savings, along with boiling small amounts of water rather than a full kettle ......
I have cunningly got all the AV stuff hooked up t the same powerpoint so one flick of the switch turns everything off except Sky +
I understand that a lot of this stuff uses nearly as much juice on standby as when being used.:dunno:
OLED if you have the cash but they don't come much bigger than 11" at the moment!
Steve - all B&O will say is the following, which is still a little ambiguous:
"With the DVB-HD Module you can receive digital signals either terrestrial (DVB-T) or from cable (DVB-C). The DVB-HD Module can receive both MPEG4/2 in High Definition (HD) and Standard Definition (SD)"
I believe that DVB-T2 (Freeview HD) will be MPEG4 so looks promising
Will keep you posted
Steve - got a friend to contact somebody in B&O's technical team. Unfortunately it appears as I originally thought mate, that DVB-HD module won't play with FreeviewHD in the UK when it launches due to the UK deciding to do things differently to the rest of the developed world
"We can inform you that the DVB-HD module can only handle Freeview HD until the point at which they send it in DVB-T2 format.
The DVB-HD module cannot handle DVB-T2 format yet, but we are working on a solution. We do not know when an update is ready"
