Picked mine up, very easy to set up. Picture is amazing - so clear, and thats just from the freeview. Have not connected to to sky or internet yet.

My research as shown it needs the Sony one, mine will be hard wired any way.

So any opinions which is better, the sony or toshiba??? Also I see your sony cashback is via a prepaid visa card. Does anyone know if you have to spend this or can you get the cash from it? Thanks

The Sony has many good reviews. Other TVs with comparable reviews are in the region of £500.

The prepaid Visa card can be used anywhere that accepts Visa. You cannot draw cash from it.

From the second link in the OP:-

"The RL858 LED series brings more quality content and connectivity to your living room. Delivering stunning Full HD 1080p image quality the RL series features built-in Freeview HD for access to terrestrial HD programmes, internet content and catch-up TV services including YouTube, BBC iPlayer and Flickr.

• Full HD 1080p
• LED
• Smart TV
• Freeview HD"

Can't see any new tv's not having built in Freeview these days.
