Purchase?

I have just bought a Sharp flat screen TV from Powerhouse (formerly Scottish Power).
At time of purchase (two weeks ago) I did not purchase an extended warranty as my budget is quite tight. Since purchase I have spoken to two people who had these TVs. Both had very bad experiences of repeated problems with them.

Is it possible to purchase an extended warrenty at this point. If so where from?

    I had very bad delivery service from Powerhouse, coupled with a patronising manner when I complained.

    I have rarely, if ever, complained about the delivery of an electrical item, but was disgusted by Powerhouse. I haven't purchased from them before, and would be hesitant to do so again.
