    No, why would you? Your not getting the goods so why would you get the quidco?

    I got Quidco cashback on the Tesco mattress order that they cancelled last year... they also refunded me an extra £5 for delivery even though it was free!

    Freesat requires a satellite dish to receive the channels, but is free to access.

    Freeview requires an aerial.

    Hey guys,

    I was 'lucky' enough to order one of these TV's as i've been desperate to replace my 14" mini tv, so yes quite an upgrade thanks to the OP :D

    However on closer inspection what I didnt realise at the time was that this came with 'FreeSat' and not 'FreeView.

    Do i need anything special other than the tv ariel for this freesat to work? Will it work just like FreeView does?

    I am a bit baffled to be honest! haha!

    Many thanks

    I think that this set has both freeview and freesat HD!?!?!? If you want to use freesat you need to connect it to a satelite dish, if you have Sky+ you may have another free port on your current dish

    quite often when you order via a cashback site you will still get the cashback automatically even if the online retailer cancels the order due to lack of stock or misprice. I personally see this as a form of compensation for the loss of bargain I have suffered. Saves an expensive court case ;)

    Hi Where does it say it has both please? I ordered one then now worried if it will work with my BT Vision box, or on just a normal standard Aerial (not got a satellite dish!) thanks

    I can't find a reference to it but I saw it on avforums somewhere and was watchit pointed out, it says freesat and freeview Digital tuner on the John Lewis site.

    As for your vison box, as far as I know that just transmits a signal, its independant to the Freesat on this TV which will just display it the same as any external source such as a DVD player or Xbox etc.... dont worry, worst case, you wont get Freesat...... woopy-doo, its only a few channels anyway :beer:
