So....bought my first new tv. Seeing as the licence and cable costs the same for a small tv or a large one I opted for the latter to get my moneys worth....
...Then I needed speakers as the tv ones are never that good...and the speakers needed an amp...and the old dvd player wasn't up to putting out such hi res images...
...so yes, it all snowballed into a really nice little home cinema.
I must be getting old though because it took me a couple of days and a lot of web advice to figure it all out!
