TV in my bedroom

I actually think it I a good idea given your health issues and your need to rest in bed much more than a person with good health.
I think it is a positive to work 'with' your fatigue rather than battle against it. I speak from experience.
Afraid I can't give any advice on choosing a tv though: no idea:o

I have a 19inch dvd combi in room but it isn't rigged up to an ariel and I couldn't tell you the last time I watched a dvd, when I lived with parents I had sky in my room and watched TV in my room a lot but now that I have my own house I watch TV in the living room.

Yeah they exist, they've been around a while. Unfortunately I bought a new bed and mattress last January, after my ex husband decided he wasn't returning. So to splash out again would be silly, but in principle its a good idea.

Thanks for all your replies. I do have a samsung downstairs, it seems quite good.

My laptop is in serious need of repair, it wouldn't be able to cope with any more demands made on it!! That is next on my list of To Do's. But netflix would only sort films, so TV wouldnt be an option would it?

You couldn't watch live TV, but you can watch lots of episodes of both US and UK series.

You can always get a bit of Quidco cashback for a free trial, see what you think, and don't bother if its not giving you what you want.

We've got our old 32" gray LCD. It looks out of place. It hardly gets used. I've got it connected to sky downstairs using a wireless transmitter

It's a TV for when you are too poorly to get out of bed

Ours is connected to our Sky box downstairs, although nothing as sophisticated as a wireless set up - there's some sort of wired contraption that trails under the carpet to downstairs. Anyway, our bedroom tv hardly gets used either. My main bone of contention is that I can't see the tv without my glasses on but can't go to sleep with them on so I can't nod off while watching tv in bed.

I'm sure there's a film where someone can't find their glasses so goes to the cinema in prescription swimming goggles. You could get some of those to nod off in, although you'd have some funny marks on your face in the morning!

:rotfl: I'm sure I'd look lovely for my OH in a pair of those I'm so shattered most nights I'd probably nod off easily wearing them.

if I had sense, this is what I would have done during our house renovation... But the £45 box does quite well. Shame it's not HD. The stopped using our tv once they discovered netflix on the ipad
