Extended Warranties - from Barmey.co.uk?

I have seen what looks like a good value extended warranty from barmey.co.uk. Its a fair bit cheaper than others that I have seen.

For £73.99 I can get a 5 year Extended Warranty for LCD and Plasma TVs:

http://www.barmey.co.uk/ssl/aspcart/productview.asp?product_id=102531

Its from Corporate Support Solutions Ltd (who I have not heard of) and AXA Insurance UK (who I have heard of)

Does anyone have any comments?
Or has anyone had a dealings with this warranty of barmey.co.uk?

Thanks,

    no idea about barmy co uk but if you buy your telly from john lewis you get the 5 yr warranty included.
    other electrical items such as fridges/freezers from JL have a 2 yr warranty included and any extended 5 yr warranty is approx 70 quid.
    Get some gorm.

    Thanks for your reply, but JL no longer sells the TV I wanted.
    Beside I have already bought the TV for £200 cheaper than JL was selling them for.

    You are right they will... but:

    A) The item you are comparing to must be the same including a 5-year warranty
    - The place I bought mine from did not offer any extended warranty
    B) Must be a retail price.
    - To get the TV cheaper I used a 10% discount + free delivery voucher and received 8% back from QuidCo.:D

    Also JL stopped selling this particular TV before I had the funds available to buy it.

    So hence why I was going to get this Barmey warranty.

    Surley other MSE's must have spotted this deal and decided for it or against it??
