    Is the inbuilt tuner Freeview, or Freeview HD? If the former, I'd be inclined to save my money and wait, as Freeview HD is coming soon!

    So the question you are asking is if the tuner is 1080i capable? That is indeed a good question.

    Packard Bell still makes computers? Must be a UK only thing, I don't think anyone would ever buy one of their computers over in the states after the fiascoes of the early 90's.

    Freeview HD is going to use DVB-T2, which is still in draft at the moment, there are also no DVB-T2 tuners out there. So no, this will not have a Freeview HD tuner.
