Thats strange George.
i bought Planet Earth for Christmas, for ourselves. Amazon £9.75 for the five disc boxed set brand new not S/hand.
I also bought a new telly a few weeks ago, to replace our 20 ish year old CRT one.
Got a Sony 32" lcd again from Amazon with 3 year Sony warranty.
To do justice to the new tv, also got a Freesat box. Already have a motorised dish, and of course the Freesat box does the HD programmes.
The telly is networked to the computers upstairs, you can pull up pictures stored on the computers from your armchair, also music in mp3 and wma form, also video, but not had a real good look at that yet.
The Freesat box is a Humax one, and I am very lucky to be able to trial a Beta of
BBC iplayer onto the telly, the beeb released the beta just before xmas, all you need is an internet connection to the Humax box.
I can report that the iplayer is working well on the tv, Lyn missed Three men in a boat, and we were able to watch two days later on iplayer. No stuttering at all on high quality.
So that all made up for only getting £10 worth of Xmas boxes from my customers in the very busy month or so leading up to xmas
