[QUOTE="Topper, post: 701941, member: 186250"] I recently splashed out on a Sony Bravia KDL32EX403U 32" FV/HD TV and incorporated its installation into my chimney breast project. Having finally completed the job to my satisfaction although I do not have an HD sky stb I can still watch terrestrial HD channels which are OK in quality certainly can tell the resolution difference on many programs. I purposely bought an internet ready TV as I wanted to explore IPTV a bit and see what was available. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of available content and am never stuck for something to watch. On the negative side I am disappointed that I cannot get the BBC iPlayer on there but reading around the web it seems there may be a software upgrade released at some point, but I am not holding my breath. I must mention that I refused point blank to pay £66.00 to Sony for a usb wifi dongle for the Sony TV a ridiculous price for a £10.00 dongle but please note no other works at all hence I am using my Powerline adaptors which at 150mb/s work a treat, not bad for £29.00 second hand from ebay Once I had the internet sorted I also wanted to be able to access media content from my PC and struggled to find some useful DLNA server software until I came across mezzmo from conceiva, see -www.mezzmo.com I have to say it worked well with my Sony although initially I thought it was not going to. I did not realise it had to catalogue all the media content on my PC and as I have a lot of it I initially could not understand why I could see thumbnails, but not view the content. Once everything was catalogued it all works a treat and I can recommend it to anyone having a similar Sony TV / PC setup. I still have many things to explore with the TV but I have to say our viewing experience is certainly enhanced from the 22" CRT we have been using for the last 15 years, I was fed up of missing the right and left hand side of the viewing screen and think at £450 from John Lewis the TV was a bargain although I accept it may be small for some people's houses, but it is big enough for ours.
