TVs

Im thinking of buying a widescreen Toshiba TV off a friend, I have a few questions:

1) When TV changes to digital, will I still be able to use the TV?

2) Will I need a 'box' and which one?

3) When is the switch likely?

Basically i just need to know if its worth my while to buy an older TV which seems a real bargain.

For a large number of households HDTV is only available through Sky and only after paying a monthly subscription and parting with around 300 of GBP for the HDTV box. With the confusion about HDTV DVD standards and high prices of the sets I do not really believe that anybody would buy such a TV set just to watch a DVD film. I hear that freeview HDTV channels will not be available outside of Sky or Telewest cable TV packages for at least a year or two.

I have read most of the recommended on-line guides and I am still wondering which HDTV technology (plasma, LCD, LCos, DLP) is best for watching sports and playing games (Xbox 360/PS3). Thanks!

Can anybody suggest reputable suppliers of satellite equipment in the Swindon/Wiltshire area? What's the best satellite for Filipino channels (I heard of one over the middle-East somewhere, but that's low on the horizon)? Free-to-air? What dish size? Motorised or fixed? I have Sky standard installation at the moment. Many thanks.

I can play my games - got color. I can surf the web - got color. But when I play any video (from the web, from a DVD, from a stored video file, etc.) the video is black and white. (it's in color if I hook a regular computer monitor up to standard monitor connector). How do I get video color?

We have directv sattelite tv. My daughters television (or the one in her room) messes up. She keeps getting all these small retangular sqaures across the screen and sometimes it looks like someone took a pair of scissors and cut the screen up. You can't even make out a pic.
Sometimes she gets noise but not normally.
We have changed tv's, we bought a new surge protector at wal mart, I called the electrician to see if it was that but he didn't think so as the VCR doesn't do it.
Direct tv has changed the reciever,and put in a new spliter, and changed the cables that go from the t.v to the vcr.
Hers is the only tv in the house that does that.
Direct tv was just here and they said unless it does it when they are looking at it, they can't do anything.
Any ideas at all?

I will be using the TV for general viewing of the TV channels, watching DVDs and video cassetes. I am not much interested in using it for playing games etc. I am confused as to which one to go for - an LCD TV or a Plasma TV. I just want to know which one is best for me. I can see that the prices for 37 to 42 inch LCDs and Plasmas are not very different.

I need to replace my 50" plasma TV that was stolen from my house. Originally I paid about $3150 at Sears plus tax and delivery. I now see that if I order it online, I can get it for about $2500. But I'm not sure if I trust having it shipped to my house, because I know how fragile the plasma screens are. Of course, I have no idea how Sears treated the TV I bought as it was being delivered (and the delivery guys were kind of sleazy anyway).

So, has anyone out there successfully ordered a big screen plasma TV online, and had it shipped to your house, and received it with no problems and no damage? If so, where did you buy it and how was it shipped? Thanks in advance.
