Interestingly, my local tv shop did sell me the panasonic television and I
asked them if they could get a Freeview box with AD for my other tv. They
said that none of the boxes they provided had AD on them, so they could not
help. However, they installed my Panasonic free of charge, and came back
again once I had the Logik box and installed it, free of charge.
I could definitely have found the tv more cheaply online, but would not have
had the excellent after sales service.
It is all a matter of choice. Where small shops cannot compete as far as
price is concerned, they can, and regularly do, offer very good after sales
support.

Jackie and all:
There is a buying co-operative called Euronics which is
basically small local retailers who usually sell at the same
price as the big boys, but with better service.
They often install and set up for a moderate charge (if not
included in the original price).
Take a look at:

Hi David
As a matter of interest, how accessible is your Panasonic
Viera TV in relation to setting it up? It's just that a 26
inch doesn't sound too big compared to some of these sets
that are doing the rounds at the moment. Did you need
sighted assistance to switch on the ~AD?
