Need cheap TV!

in I wanna buy it or do it
Hi

I have an old TV in our bedroom, but toddler's stickiness/enthusiasm for buttons has finally left it on last legs!

It was one of the sturdy big ones, very old, with video and dvd player, but did me fine. Do they sell those new anymore? Where can I get one?

If not, I need a simple tv (small) with dvd player on the cheap. Please help! He's losing tv time with his kids shows! :)
Up and onwards to the future!

    Tube TVs aren't made any more, but go for next to nothing in charity shops or on ebay (set list to sort items by distance nearest first)

    have you got a British Heart Foundation electrical store near you? They often have these tv's at a reasonable price.

    Other alternative is to try Freecycle/gumtree

    You can buy cheapie flat screen with built in DVD player by way of a slot on the side of the tv. Tesco do cheapies.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
