Standalone device for iPlayer, ITV, Ch4 and 5 catchup, and YouTube?
We currently use a Nintendo WII for iPlayer and YouTube, but 4OD, ITV and C5 catchup aren't available on this, and the wireless perform is woeful despite many attempts to tweak it. We want a standalone device which will connect wirelessly to our router, and which will feed a HDD/DVD recorder using composite video or SCART…

I saw a package on Top Cashback (recomm. by MSE) for Sky TV; 25% reduction for 12 months, and tried to get it for my partner. Got so far then she had to call Sky who claimed she was already a customer (she tried to get a deal via Groupon in Feb 2013 but at the very end you were told you had to take a Sky phone line as well…

I want to buy a new HD TV WITHOUT freeview built in - possible?
Since I don't watch TV as it's broadcast, I don't need Freeview, cable, or satellite and I don't need a TV licence. The only new HD TVs on sale these days seem to have Freeview built in.

LG 32ln5400 £200 - A good price?
Good vs evil battle going on in my head over whether to nip to Asda today and pick one up. LG is a good brand It's a fairly basic set. No smart TV but it is full HD. Any crystal ball wielding MSE'rs like to say if they think I'm likely to find another decent branded 32" TV for less than £200 in the near future? (other than…
