Your absolutely sure you want 'the cheapest'?
That will mean its likely to break down within 2 years, probably have poor motion, backlighting issues, very poor sound, wrong colour pallete and few connections:idea:0 -
Have you looked at the ebuyer site?
They have this own brand, Foehn & Hirsch 26" at £226 which has Freeview and is HD Ready.
Generally, their own brand stuff gets pretty good reviews from buyers.0 -
I'd probably go for the Samsung HD ready that Richer Sounds have available (in-store, but they have quite a few stores) for £230. Samsung are among the best half dozen big-name makes for picture quality (IMO).0

Some good deals for refurbished TVs on Ebay, I just bought a Toshiba 32inch for £190 delivered. Arrived next day and apart from a couple of scratches on the stand is great. Seller, ctelectronic_uk, has lots of good feedback, I have no connection with them, just a satisfied customer.0

If that's the spec that the OP has in mind, I can thoroughly recommend the Technika brand (exclusive at Tesco's), as purchased by many on this board (most of whom are now regretting it)
OP: NB: all modern TV's have built in Freeview.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -

Or this Grundig...

Priced at £199 and you get a voucher for ten pounds off your next purchase (if that offer is still running??)

As others have said, seriously you don't want to go for a cheapo make. Washed out colours, streaks in high movement areas...horrific.0
