    in swansea i have a 50" samsung plasa with freeview built in and in york i have a normal freeview recording card
    Hmm, I am in York and my postcode said 2012, although I think I can receive a signal from the transmitter near leeds which is supposed to be HD in March.

    Freesat or Freeview box for the world cup - that's the question?

    But it doesn't come with a T2 tuner... and I can't find any that you can attach to it

    Great - Yeovil gets in the next two months, which is amazing as things down here are as slow as the tractors on the roads.

    But I am moving to Poole in a month and have to wait till 2012... Sucks

    How eager are people to get a HD TV service? Particularly the sports fans - if you can't get Freeview HD, do you see yourself getting Freesat/Sky/Virgin prior to the World Cup kicking off in June?

    The broadcasters and manufacturers are predicting a big consumer spend in the weeks leading up to June, so it'd be interesting to see what some of us have planned.

    Me too. Except Channel4 HD (no date, just 'coming soon'). How much are those FreeviewHD boxes, I've not been bothered since I hardly watch TV, but it should be quite neat to use my projector with one

    If it wasn't available I wouldn't run out and find an alternative as ultimately I think most of the games I'll watch will probably be in the pub.

    Reckons September 2010 for us in Torbay. Not too shabby and hopefully by then the cost of the boxes will have become reasonable.

    There are going to be alot of unhappy new TV owners me thinks. Most people I know fully expected those lovely new flatscreens with everything you could never need built in, to be good to go for HD Freeview. Is a bit of a shambles if you ask me.
