How much are you thinking of spending in all Dave?

Im assuming it will be used for music and movies?

Do you have ANY kit already?

Hi,

yes, the  first question should be if you already have any kit. Otherwise I would recommend to buy a full system.

I found a couple of Home Cinema Systems that you might like:

-Philips HTS 3164 retails at £114.23 DVD player included, Built-in radio

-Samsung HT-X250 retails at £162.95  DVD player included

Any of these will do ~

Richer Sounds

personally id go for package 3 or 4

Im not sure what you ment by HD. I know its High Definition, but what EXACTLY are you saying?

Ok Dave

It would HAVE to be seperates for that anyways

You cant record blurays though. HIDEF tv viewing is ONLY possible through Freesat (Meaning you need a dish as well as a receiver), Virgins hidef package, or skys hidef package.And even then only on selected channels or programmes!

The problem is in recording the hidef material. As far as im aware, its not yet possible to record to a dvd and playback in hidef quality. The only solution I know of is to record to an internal hardrive (Built into the freesat receiver, or virgins or skys)

Also, you can only view hidef through a HDMI lead, meaning to see anything hidef you NEED a new tv. If you plan to watch blurays AND freesat youll need 2 hdmi sockets

When selecting a tv you also need to realise there are 2 types of hidef ~ 720p and 1080p. 

HOWEVER, you wont notice a difference viewing on a 32" tv so dont go looking for 1080p in particular.
