Does anyone have any particular recommendations when it comes to smart TV's? My last TV was rather old, and eventually died the death. Since then I have been watching TV on my computer, but I think it's time to invest in a proper TV.

A friend has recommended that I get a fairly cheap TV and use this in conjunction with a Humax Box, satellite dish and internet connection. This should basically give me all the advantages of smart TV.

What would you do? I am in the UK and willing to spend up to £1,000, but if I can get something just as good and cheaper, so much the better!

A friend of mine has a Humax box, and it seems to work pretty well. You can use it to get on-demand internet TV from all the main channels, plus all the FreeSat channels.

If you just want a TV with WiFi connection, you could get a dongle - Amazon do one.

For Free Sat TV you have to have a dish on the side of your house.

With just an aerial you can get Freeview.

With Sky you can get multiple channels.

How many channels would you like to have access to? It also depends on things like how much access to sport you would like to have.

I'd probably go with Sky Q. I rarely record any TV show, so all I need is the channels. I'd invest the rest of the money in a good UHD/4K smart TV. I think Samsung or LG has some good entry-level 32-48 inch TVs within your budget.
